There is a plant in my building at work that my friend loves but we have no idea what it is. I would like to find it and give it to her for her birthday.
Description: It has Dark Purple leaves (that kinda look like butterflies resting from afar. Then some of them have a little (what looks like) lilac/or white flower blooming on them.
Sorry if my description is crappy but if you have any idea of what this flower if please let me know. And if you can link me to a picture that would be helpful.
Thanks You for your in advance.

If it is the Purple Heart that was described / answered by someone above, here is a link to a picture to see if that is what you are talking about. Good luck -- nice thought!

I think you have described a purple heart. The scientific name is Setcreasea Pallida or Purpurea. Hope this is right.

I need more information, such as where you are, the height of the plant, the shape of the flower, etc. You don't allow email through your profile, so if you email me I'll be glad to try to help you.

If that purple is a redish purple, I am thinking this a Diablo Ninebark. http://www.paghat.com/ninebark.html
It's pretty easy to grow.
