Nemesia are such beautiful, cheerful flowers! They bring happiness to any garden and their variety of colours are wonderful. It can be fun to collect as many colours as you can and fill your garden with brilliant gorgeousness!

Lovely pictures! Those tulips look lovely, as does your carnation – you should be proud of it. It's always so exciting when you get a first successful bloom!

I’m glad you are home and safe Matt.
The Genus Sclerochiton has 18 species according to The Kew Plant list. What you show looks right for Acanthaceae, and is consistent with the pictures and descriptions of the genus.
I suppose that since they are spread out over Africa in different countries there isn’t a monograph or key covering them all; at least I can’t find one.
It is early in the year to decide that the flower form is ‘atypical’; it may settle down to look more typical and be true to name later in the year.

I feel your pain LOL, I am in Rhode Island and my chili peppers are ready to go along with lettuce, lavendar, and thyme. I have them in the house right now. I am not fortunate enough to plant in the ground so I do use greenhouses, I love yours. I have not started on the flowers or bulbs yet, hoping this weekend. If anyone needs help with growing any kind of plant in containers hop on over to containergardening1.com. I wish all gardeners a blessed and blooming crop this year. Happy gardening
