I saw one in Portugal on my holidays in 2000, and didn't believe my eyes. With us in the Netherlands you hardly ever see this plant, I didn't know it at all, but in Portugal there were many of them, some yellow, some purple, etc., but with flowers of the same colour on one plant, but somewhere I saw that bush with about four or five different colours. Not "broken" in individual flowers, though, like in your picture.
