I was given this plant, haven't a clue what it is :confused:

:D It is my favourite colour - what ever it is

 

Mexican petunia, or Ruellia brittoniana

 

you have cracked it just looked it up on the net,Thankyou:thumb:

 

Brilliant Ivory - yet another one that I have never heard of!

They do say that there are only about 260,000 different species. I recon if I keep reading these threads I will be well on my way to that total. :D

 

Same for me. I don't know ALL of these plants, sometimes it's a puzzle to solve. Some like crosswords, I like finding plant names, keeps the brain going, .

 

You are frightening me now, I told you you were remarkable at this. I am going to find a hard one for you.

 

Ah, sniff, I guess my hard won reputation will soon be crashed

 

Ivory, your good.

 

Ditto to above.

 

Ok, ok, I see, time to save to my old folder "improvement of self esteem". :D
