A neighbours identity problem.
He asked me to identify , I cannot help but I thought somebody out there, can.. The pink flower is nothing to do with it, it is the variegated leaf that confuses me.
Please help.

I'd say Persicaria. Can't variegation be caused by viruses? I'm not that up on flowers

Many varieties of persicaria have that V-shaped or triangular "stain" on the leaf. If anything the markings are fainter than I am used to.

looks like the common persicaria; Polygonum persicaria. we have it in the garden and it is a native. [wildflower or 'weed']
when you say the pink flower has nothing to do with it, it does have a soft pale pink flower that is typical of this plant. [or did you mean the deeper pink flower in the bottom of frame?]

Surely its a Persecaria? Maybe its a cross with a variegated one?
