I don’t know what plant that is, but I have a friend who might. I’ll show him this picture, and see what he says. Let ya know when I know! ;^)
Where did you take this picture? My friend says it is tropical, and not native to SF. Were you in the “Hall of Flowers” in Golden Gate Park, or a private collection?
It’s in someone’s front near to where I parked for Bart. I never pay attention to it before. The Pink outer layer got my attention today.
My friend is going to check with some people who know even more than him about plants, It may take a couple of days to get the answer, but get it we will.
That’s so nice of you. Looking forward to learn more about this plant.
Well Jim, the Latin name for it is “Strobilanthes Atropurpurea”. It’s common name is “Persian Shield”. It is a native of tropical Asia
