I'm in Fl. I am familiar with quite a few plants, but recently someone gave me a plant, but didn't know the name of it.. Its just driving me crazy.. I've looked online for hours and haven't found it yet. It hard to describe, but, here goes.. its stalk is bamboolike and there are like bubblegum pink flowers on it. It is really beautiful. Its about two feet high and also consists of many of these stalks. Any ideas what it is? dania4048

A picture would be the greatest [Wink] ,
but even a description of the shape of the flowers and leaves might help.

Are the flowers large or small?
Do they remind you of some other sort of plant?
Daisies? Lilies? Morning glories?

Is the foliage an unusual shape, size or color?
