Hi Fernando,
That pink flowered D rotundifolia from Seosamh M. turned out to be
a 'pink herring'. He had been told by the people he got it from
that it was D.rotundifolia but after I saw a leaf he sent, it turns
out that it is really D.spatulata. So as of yet, there seem to be no
D.rotundifolia w/ pink petals.
