Roscoea 'Mauve Sentinel'

I would probably doubt the desirability of mauve if I didn't have a friend who claims that apricots, of all things, are her favorite fruit. To that end I know for a fact someone is absolutely frothing at the mouth for this botanical monument to mauve. The fleshy-pinky-purple flowers of this hardy ginger relative defy characterization but they will certainly mauve you, whether to joy or uncertain regard however, is in the eye of the beholder.
