This should be any Strobilanthes species from Acanthaceae<\/i>.<\/p>\n
\n

Thank you\u00a0… but could not find a similar flower in Strobilanthes<\/i> species on the net<\/p>\n

\n

… could be a garden cultivar of Ruellia<\/i> species.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/span>yes its Ruellia<\/i> sp… flower not clear<\/p>\n

\n

<\/i><\/span>I too think that this would be a species of Ruellia <\/i>of Acanthaceae<\/i> family. <\/p>\n

\n

I searched for Ruellia<\/i> sp on the net but the shape of the petals and leaves do not match<\/p>\n

\n

<\/i>Please share the side view of the flower, if you have one. <\/p>\n

\n

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. <\/p>\n

\n

… please consider checking for Ruellia tuberosa<\/i> … though may not be.<\/p>\n

\n

I checked it out so far I suppose the closest match though not the colour of the flower.<\/p>\n

\n

… 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.<\/p>\n

\n

The flower and leaves are typical ruellia<\/i> type.<\/p>\n

\n

Ruellia <\/i>species indeed.<\/p>\n

\n

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<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

<\/b>yet winter has not started. how come everyone is sending purple blue shades . how come?<\/font><\/p>\n

\n

<\/span>It may be a cultivar of Ruellia brittoniana<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n

It is not at all not zinnia<\/i>.
No characters like compositae.
Quite likely Ruellia<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n

One of the Ruellia<\/i> species. (Could be R.brittoniana<\/i>)<\/p>\n
