If anyone has a picture of a truly PINK balloon flower could you please share it? I've been looking on the net and other than sales ads haven't found a single really PINK pic. I found a few off whites and a few pale lavenders.

I bought a "pink" one which turned out to be white, but I really have seen pink ones growing in other people's gardens. I'm keeping my eyes open to buy one in bloom -- that's not too tall and floppy. A double would be nice.
