Purple passion, purple velvet
will keep my eye open for this one for you.
Do you know if they propagate by cutting easily? If they do, and mine is still alive when I get back home (ive been away for a week) I'd be happy to trade you a cutting or two. I'll post when I get home.
Correct me if i'm wrong, they can be propagated like a philedendron, ie; clip, cut, put in water until roots appear, then plant. I haven't tried it with this yet.
I was at Merrifield Garden Center in Fairfax VA last weekend and they had some. I don't live close by or I'd offer to go and get you some.
Here's their website - maybe they can help you find a source if no one here has any.

I found mine at Lowe's in the tropical plant dept. They have a wide selection of small tropicals, and almost have the Purple passion in the 3 inch pots~ I think I paid less than $3 for mine...Debra~
I'll call Lowe's.
If you don't find some, yell, I have one, and they root very easily in water. Have some started for someone else, but will be happy to start for you too.
I too have seen it at Lowe's many times. Good luck.
