    I ran across this plant on a recent trip to Key West in Florida. Can anyone help me identify it?

    Since no one else has indentified it for you I will offer a guess. Perhaps a cultivar of Acalypha wilkesiana also known as copperleaf or Joseph's Coat. If not that maybe a cultivar of a related species. The long, hanging flower spikes seem a clue. Good looking foliage plant whatever it is.
