Yes, it is Striga purple.  Thank you Paradesi ji.  My favorite plant because it's small size, beautiful flower and design.  Here it has only 3 months growth, when continues raining it will be perish.  I am in one year waiting for Striga!!!  Regards, Sam.

In one of the images by Sam ji, I see the red colour. 

Mobile cameras do not sometimes capture the true colours.

Dear Garg ji,

No, Garg ji, the side view Striga seems in red colour because of capturing in brightness  and exposure decreased mode. It is not red, it is pink.  In 2020 April, more than 200 plants, fewer white also (I think it is some genetic disorder) grown here. This year I see only 5 plants, all are blooming pink flowers.  Please check the habitat and scale images, regards, Sam.

[J.M. Garg]

Ok, Sam ji
