    The plant is around three feet tall in a pot and has pretty pink flowers.

    Thanks,

    Looks like a Pseuderanthemum--or at least something in that family http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/adv_search.php?searcher[com...

    Is it me or do the leaves in the above image look glossy but X Ruttyruspolia 'Phyllis Van Heeden' are dull? Is it the camera flash or something. The blooms sure look right. I found this little write-up on the plant: http://www.plantzafrica.com/plantqrs/ruttyruspolia_phyllisva...
