It's very beautiful whatever it is. It sent me looking at Thunbergias but I can't see one with those fringed petals and the little spur at the top. But it's along those lines. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

It's definitely not a climber |

Reminiscent of mimulus or a species gloxinia, but it probably isn't either. Was it in the indoor plant section, or outside? -- Jeff |

How you tracked it down, heaven knows! To be honest nor do I , I tried following leads and searching plants from different countries, different wholesalers here and in Europe. Tried a google search that tries to match your picture with google pictures. When you open a google search click on images, the search box then shows a camera, click on that and carry on from there. It didn't find it. |

It bore a close resemblance to some of the Polish Streptocarpus so I'm grateful that I was introduced to those! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |
