    Hello Everyone,

    I recently relocated from Vancouver to Toronto and had to leave many more plants behind then I had planed. There is one tropical plant that I am having trouble identifying - I was told that the common name is "Inpatient Pilot". However, multiple google searches have turned up nothing. It has strange "flowers" that are red, yellow and green and kind of reminds me of a chameleon in their shape. It grows upright and has many (6-7?) stems coming out of its base. It has small to medium sized green leaves that grow off of the stems. I bought it from some random plant shop on Main Street in Van and have never seen it since. Any ideas or help would be appreciated! Thank you!!

    That would have been "impatient plant" rather than "impatient parrot".
