Name that rhizome!

11 years ago

Hi, while I was at the garden show i picked up a rhizome of a plant I thought looked like mandevilla, I knew it wasn't mandevilla but they said that it can take shade and the blooms looked like mandeville. The name started with an I and ended in vea. Does anyone have any idea as to what this plants name is? :)
