|
Hello:
While on vacation in Florida, last spring I took some cuttings from my mom's plants. The plant in question was found at a flea market with no tag to identify it.  When I took the cutting it was only 2 inches tall with two leaves. I have transplanted it into a new pot today. Here are a few pictures.
Any and all help is appreciated...

It looks like a peach tree to me. My Mexican Petunia has darker leaves and they are narrower.

I agree with Sharon. Mexican Petunias have dark green leaves. I saw a couple of mine peaking out from behind a shrub this morning.

How much sun has it had? I think it could be MP but hasn't had much sun to green it up. Just MO.
