    Hi,
    I know this is a long shot but years ago I saw a varigated tri-colour pink blushed spider plant. (Chlorophytum)
    Now I want one, I can't find anything about them anywhere! The only thing I can find on the web are just the odd post on blog pages of people mentioning seeing them but I can't find any photos or information about them?
    I want for one for my toddler - she'll love it when it has babies, and she loves pink. I made the mistake of telling her about the pink spider plant and how it has lots of babies and now she keeps politely asking for one but it's like they don't exist!
    Does anyone know anything about them? Do pink ones have pink babies or are they're just random flukes?
    Does anyone have one I can buy a pink baby off please? Or know what they're called if something else, or where I can get my hands on one?
    I'm over in the uk but if wrapped in wet cotton wool and packed well it should survive the trip? I'll cover postage of course - Just thought it was worth asking...
    Could you please reply to my work's email address rather than on here as I can't always get on

    Thanks for any help you can offer,
    Nikki - a desperate mummy...

    Maybe search the RHS Plant Finder online to see which suppliers are listed for multiple different Chlorophytum, then contact a few of these to see if they know anything. Sounds like something you will have to get from a collector.

    The write-up for Chlorophytum comosum 'Golden Glow' at Glasshouse Works is similar to your description:

    This may provide a clue. According to Hawaiian Spider Plants:
