Plant ID please - tried my best but it has defeated me!
« on: July 21, 2020, 12:02:24 PM »
I won this at a Club lecture in Edinburgh - first time I think I've ever won something there, and I'm not sure it came with a label then - it certainly has inevitably lost it now.  Anyway it has now flowered and one of the things I was discovering is that 4 petalled plants are in a bit of a minority.  Because it is prostate I'm having a bit of difficulty deciding whether the leaves are paired or opposite.

I would much appreciate some help as it is pretty and also tolerant of my lack of effectiveness in watering plants in pots, and -  ummm - keeping it upright!

Thanks

Many thanks Ashley.  There's a memory bell ringing frm the Francoa bit so it must have had a label at some time. 

Much appreciated
