One of my Facebook friends is trying to ID this. It seems very familiar to me...any thoughts on what this is?

Some kind of Ruellia, maybe? If so, it's not one of the species I am familiar with, but it looks like it might belong in that genus. Ruellias often go by the common name of wild petunia or something similar.

I thought ruellia as well, but the blooms don't look right, at least in my limited Ruellia experience here in Ohio. Is it perhaps a variety I just haven't seen?

Barleria cristata...also called violet shrub or Philippine Violet. At least it looks like mine

I agree, it does look like Barleria cristata ("Phillipine Violet":

Gingin and Lin, I think you nailed it! You are wise and wonderful, thank you everyone!
