This is growing in SE Queensland. I am helping a friend ID it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Doug
ID help please
I don't know either, but a pic of the foliage is sometimes helpful. Does it have square stems, is it tall or short, is it a succulent e.t.c?
It is a very cute flower Doug. What size is it?

My friend said it is succulent. I have requested more info about it. She is in Australia and I am in the US so the info may arrive slowly.
Lucky for you Doug, we're pretty patient around here! LOL

I believe I have it with the help of the plant ID board.
It is a Plectranthus ornatus http://unity.blackguild.com/gallery/rbgm01/IMG_2458
Or
Plectranthus neochilus http://www.flickr.com/photos/51628428@N00/223903738/
Also known as Dogbane, Dog Gone, Lobster Flower, Skunk Flower....."Dog gone" because the odor keeps dogs away.
The flowers are not exactly the same but everything else is, including the bad odor of the plant.
Thanks for your help or as we say here in the south...Thank ya'll very kindly!
You guys and gals are great!
Funny Doug, I actually have that one and tried to have it ID'd some time ago and no one could tell me what it is. Its not a very pleasant smell, but it doesn't bother my dogs! On another topic, They ate all the tomatoes today!
