    Does anyone recognize this plant? I bought it at a Victoria nursery and lost the ID tag. It has fuzzy leaves and spotted purple/white flowers.

    It is a Beloperone spp. I think the new name is Justicia brandegeeana. Commonly called shrimp plant. Very weedy where I live. We just yank it out of the soil where we don't want it. My trimming of it is equally casual. I reach in to shoulder high stands and snap off whatever I grab. The bracts will be more pink with more light.
