Ruellia species

 

---

This should be any Strobilanthes species from Acanthaceae.

---

Thank you … but could not find a similar flower in Strobilanthes species on the net

---

… could be a garden cultivar of Ruellia species.

---

yes its Ruellia sp… flower not clear

---

I too think that this would be a species of Ruellia of Acanthaceae family.

---

I searched for Ruellia sp on the net but the shape of the petals and leaves do not match

---

Please share the side view of the flower, if you have one.

---

I went to get another picture but it seems someone has plucked the flower. There was no other flower on the plant neither a bud.

---

… please consider checking for Ruellia tuberosa … though may not be.

---

I checked it out so far I suppose the closest match though not the colour of the flower.

---

… let us wait for any more photos from your end at any later date PLUS comment(s) for this post.
The deeper colour could be attributed to this plant being a garden cultivar … however, not stressing on the ID.

---

The flower and leaves are typical ruellia type.

---

Ruellia species indeed.

---

There was another flower the plant and attaching pictures … also also the side view. This flower was light purple as opposed to the last one from the same plant which was dark blue. Is this Ruellia brittoniana

---

yet winter has not started. how come everyone is sending purple blue shades . how come?

---

It may be a cultivar of Ruellia brittoniana.

---

It is not at all not zinnia.
No characters like compositae.
Quite likely Ruellia.

---

One of the Ruellia species. (Could be R.brittoniana)
