A member of the Acanthaceae family, this could be a Ruellia Simplex or Mexican Petunia, Mexican Bluebell or Britton’s Wild Petunia. It could be a Ruellia Tuberosa or Minnieroot, Fever Root, Snapdragon Root or Sheep Potato. Honestly, they look the same to me. ~Vic

Or, Passion Flower. I’m doing a happy dance as I just discovered Pl@nt Net. It should be much easier to identify my flowers & other plants. ~Vic
