I used to have this. It's called Setcreasea. It had little purple flowers too.

Is this a houseplant? I think I may have a version of it..Managed to kill a couple little ones last month alone! LOL...

Hi Newfienurse, I have it growing in my garden, it can be a houseplant as well.

Oh, another one of my house plants I'd rather see in a garden - the poor things survive indoors but you never see them in their true glory. You are soooo lucky, Panther!
