id of plant in Horticulture Dec'01?

I sent this query to the Hardy Plants group but got no response.  I 
guess I should have sent it here to begin with, since La Mortella is 
a Mediterranean garden.

I am puzzled by some pink with a darker eye petunia-shaped flowers in 
an ad for a Gardens and Islands Tour on page 67 of the December 2001 
issue of Horticulture magazine. (The same ad may also be in the 
current issue.) What first drew my eye was the gardener, jewelled, 
straw-hatted, lipsticked, with secateurs in hand and a big grin, 
looking like she would be a lot of fun to know.  She is Lady Susana 
Walton in her garden, La Mortella, on the island of Ischia.  Then I 
started looking at the flowers.  What is the pink one in the left 
corner -  a shrubby Ruellia or ???
