On my last trip to the LA area, I visited Leo Song at Cal State Fullerton
(Orange County). He directed me to the local Home Depot, where they were
selling a number of CP species under the brand "Booman Floral." The one I
bought -- an incredible Ping hybrid (P. agnata "fragrant" x P. "Guanajuato")
they called the "Starfish Plant -- agnata hybrid".

I was told by Leo that It's fairly common in Home Depots throughout the
Southland.
