Yellow is an unusual color in Episcias, and is most often seen in such plain green leaved cultivars as E. 'Tropical Topaz'. E. 'Pink Dreams' has pink flowers with a yellow throat. In this mutation, the yellow flowers are set off nicely by the dark pink and green foliage. The standard 'Pink Dreams' usually has lighter-colored foliage, but foliage color is notoriously variable as a function of culture -- the dark foliage here might not be the result of the mutation.
