I was told at a plant sale that this is some type of Peperomia. Anyone recognize it?

Hadn't the faintest idea which it was, but from googling, it appears to be Peperomia kimnachii:

It is sure an unusual plant. It is http://www.peperomia.net/photo...
It is Peperomia kimnachii Rauh, from Bolivia. Relatively new here. Thank you so much for the help.

I took this photo today at the Home and Garden Show in Portland, Oregon. I would have bought it if it didn't need to come indoors for the winter.
This nursery has some very unusual Cactus and Succulents.

That is such a neat looking Peperomia, very unusual and really cool!

My photos don't do the plant justice. It is so interesting. Definitely not your run of the mill Peperomia. Smiling

I have to say, I was tempted by it.
