    I think it is draconis vulgaris although I've never seen one in real life...

    Hopefully someone will confirm or correctimage

    Thank you everyone. I just don't know where it came from!

    A very attractive and unusual looking plant. I'd like to get some seed and try growing one sometime. I like the name too, makes me think of dragons and Dracula

    I've discovered I have one too in my new garden! It is truly an amazing plant! Mine have shrivelled up and died off now including the foliage so I'm thinking I should've watered it!
