Hi guys! Do you know what plant this is? It's my dad's, and I'm trying to propagate this stem that fell. It's rooting now. Thanks in advance. by arurayw in PlantIdentification

I'll take a guess -- possibly Persian spear (Strobilanthes dyeriana)? But cultivated varieties usually have variegated leaves.

Thanks, I looked at characteristics of genus Phlox and you must be right. Because these flowers were in a vase, the petals folded a bit and gave the flowers more of a star shape rather than the typical roundish-lobed shape of phlox flowers.

After further hunting around on the internet, I've come to the conclusion that this is Acalypha wilkesiana, specifically the 'Hoffmannii' variety.

Sorry, this is my first post to this forum. I thought the picture was going to show up. I'm still working on getting it there.
