Tim: Thanks for the response. I had a note from Alan Tower and indeed
claimed the plant and said that it was for sale. The photo I saw was
Barbara Jones..from his garden.  It is a small plant I would guess, with
cordate leaves. The center as you suggest is white but  on the leaves I saw
the white middle vein is very uneven with sharp jagged edges going off into
the leaf, but not necessarily accentuating the veins. Perhaps a little bit
like a white irregular flame.  That is the part that appeals to me, and I
know that it might just be this single plant, and its chief virtue (to
me)the flamming white will not be part of the TC lot. Still hope springs
eternal and I will hope the best. I ordered some of course. thanks again
