I have a funny story about this one. Mom and I went to an AV show last year about this time. People were putting AVs in boxes and setting them on the floor while they continued to look around. Mom spotted what turned out to be "Pow Wow" in some ladies box, and almost took it. The lady came and claimed her box and Mom asked around only to find out that was the only "Pow Wow" at the show. I thought she was going to bumrush the lady and tear a leaf off, but I managed to restrain her. She kept pouting though, so this past September, I made sure I was the first person at the USF Botanical Gardens' Gesneriad sale. I couldn't remember what "Pow Wow" looked like other than dark red blooms. I forgot it was variegated, until I finally found one. I claimed it as mine, and Mom now has her "Pow Wow". Here is a pitcure of it. It's not in bloom, but I know you mentioned wanting to see the variegation. I thought the one on the Bluebird webpage was rather strange; the variegation on Mom's is much more uniform.
