Mr Poole does it again! He came in this morning and looked at our mystery
plant, hummed and ha-ed a bit and said it looked like a Ruspolia or, in any
case, a member of the Acanthaceae family.
Ruspolia seticalyx it is or Pseuderanthemum and only one nursery stocks it
under each name in UK, as far as I can see. The man is amazing!
Now if only he could tell us how we came by it...... ;-) I think we must
have brought seeds back from Hawaii about 5 years ago.
