This is a plant flowering today at Missouri Botanical Garden. They are usually quite good at identifying the plants, but I couldn't find an ID on this one. Can someone help identify it for me? This is the only photo I have.

Spur Flower (Plectranthus Mona Lavender)

Wow, I would never have imagined it is a coleus!
But I looked at images on line and I think you're right.
Thanks!

Yes , plectranthus are closely related to Coleus. Just think of it as a "chubbier coleus" or "succulent coleus"
