as a very small thing on the side of the road in a flower pot.
It has done very well indoors but I am not sure if it would grow outside... or even what it actually is.

It looks like it could get quite large and the lovely ( but small) pinky/purple flowers that come at the end of the leaves put me in mind of a cactus but I don't imagine it could be.
