    I'm not exactly sure what it is. I know I planted it though. :-\

    It's got stems almost 1\2 inch thick, that seem to snake around on the ground. The bottom part of the stems is red. The top is green. The leaves are huge, they sort of look like oak leaves in shape. They're a little fuzzy.

    I thought that maybe it was y broccoli, because yesterday little flower bud clusters appeared and looked like broccoli florets. But this morning, a bud was opening up, and the petals are bright pink\purple - Fushia I guess.

    The stems are, I'd say, between 15 and 18 inches in length. The leaves are at least 4 inches long each.

    The buds have opened up this morning - the flowers are a lighter pink, like PeptoBismol, and are shaped like an X, with 4 petals.
