Rare is relative of course. The red leaf form is not very common.  It's been commercially available before, but now is not something you see very often. It's not as prolific as other species like K pulchra.  There are several other species in cultivation awaiting publication. The solid colored leaf is rare as most are either green or patterned with silver etc. there are a few solid blacks, solid browns, and another solid red one ( again awaiting official publication ). 

You do realize these are winter dormant and should be trying to enter dormancy very soon.  Kept them dry until late spring.
