Are there any hostas with red, pink or true blue flowers?

Question

I'm getting more and more into collecting hostas each year. I've seen purple, lavender, pale lavender and white flowers. It seems to me that with lavender being the base color of the flowers of the original species, someone should have been able to hybridize a variety with tholwers that have more red tones, and also flowers that have more blue tones.

I've found a photograph of a hosta that has flowers that appear to be red. It's called Red Rose. I haven't been able to find it for sale anywhere though.

Here is a link to the photo so you can see what I'm talking about:

Hosta Fujibotans appears fo have pinkish flowers, so I'm getting one of them. I'm still looking for shosking pink, red, mauve or any shade of blue. Does anyone know of any hostas with these unusual flower colors? If you know of a variety, do you know where I could buy it?
