The photo can be moved as far as I'm concerned. I actually thought it was uploaded to a generic plant. Mine is a common pass along plant which has probably been in the family close to 50 years or more now. Folks like my grandmother and aunts grow it as a 'medicinal' plant and swear by it for things like minor burns, sunburn, itchy spots, and the like. It grows readily, but not to 3'. Mine bloomed once and the blooms looked like those that Dinu posted under the main entry. I think normally mine doesn't bloom because I tend to restart it every year. When it bloomed it had been protected during the winter for several years. The photo is accurate for mine. It does not lose the speckles you can see in the photo. To me, it's just a commonly grown houseplant that is widely available and commonly grown.
