This plant has tiny velvet flower petals with a tiny pearl center. The ones I saw are pink. I think the nickname is chocolat plant? Thanks for info. Annie

No. This is definitely a vining house plant. The flowers are tiny (~1/3" or so). The center looks like a tiny seed pearl. Thank you though.

Annie: Were the leaves real tiny too? Did you see this plant at a garden nursery?

I saw these plants at a friend's house years ago. Yes, the leaves were tiny if I remember correctly.

I wonder if it could have been an herb. A lot of people grow the chocolate mint as a houseplant. It doesn't show in this photo but the flower color on the chocolate mint plant is a lilac/pink color, if you scroll down, you can see photo's of the flowers even though they don't look pink in color: http://www.mountainvalleygrowers.com/menpiperitachocolate.htm
