Hi, I recently purchased this plant from a nursery in Northern Calif. The owner of the nursery could'nt remember the name of the plant but said it was tropical or subtropical. Can anyone help me out with the name.

Thanks, Patricia

It looks like a Phillipine violet, but it's the wrong color.

No, it definately isn't the Phillipine Violet. It grows on strong stalks and the plant is about 2 ft. tall.

It could be one of the Ruellias.

Thank you so much Eclipse, that is it. I had just spent alot of time searching through Google trying to find a picture of it.
I just love this plant. It has bloomed non stop since I bought it. The nursery owner said that his bloomed all winter last year. Thank you ladies for trying to help me out.
