It has a few long dark pink stamens (the same pink as those 3 petals) with tiny white tips. The stamens are about .5 inches long but the one in the center is about .75 inches long. I recently got it & it was lovely. Now it is wilting & the flowers are falling off. Maybe it's because it is so humid out, however. Oh, the leaves are sort of oval but pionty at one end.

Does this discription help you any? LOL. I almost forgot...could it be some sort of Impatient(sp)

Thanks
maybe a fushia?

long stamens like that suggest fushia to me.
(I don't attempt these fancy plants--- so I don't have clue as to what to
do with it.--but sometimes they come infected with mites...and if so it is
impossible to fix them I think for most people).
