The purple flowers are unique as well, thay start out looking like leaves, but as they grow they change color and turn in to flowers. Thanks for any help someone can give.

It is on my screened porch enjoying the excess light from the tomato grow with a HID Metal Halide. It lost all of it's leaves in the fall and I thought it was dead. After putting it under the light at about 65 degrees it went wild. Thanks again for the ID. Quote \| Reply \| Report
