Those are nice colors.

Territorial is listing 3.5 inch potted oca plants for $14.50 each.
Their photo kind of looks like the variety "apricot" (mentioned in the linked article below)

Not too many options available, but a few pages of findings in a google search also referenced some other Andean roots: mashua, yacon, ulluco, (and one with ahipa, arracacha, and maca). Sorry about the delay, summer happened- complete with 6 foot tall amaranth.
