Mystery plant (calling all super sleuths)


So help me Hannah, I feel like I'm turning into a
veritable Sherlock Holmes.  I don't know what the
neighbors thing when they see me out there prowling
around my garden with a magnifying glass, a ruler and
a dictionary!!!  I used to just look at my flowers and
admire how pretty they are..now I am examining them
like a medical examiner going over a corpse inch by
inch.  
No, they don't have spots.
No they don't have stripes.  BUT, here comes a
smashing clue that will surely send you racing to your
garden to check things out.
As I mentioned earlier, the leaves are elongated heart
shaped.  At the top of the leaf where the two lobes
meet to create the heart shape the bud first
appears..as though it is coming out of the leaf
itself.  Then after a few days the slender stem
comes..right out of the V creating the heart..and
eventually the "bud" turnes into a cluster of little
bells that fact upward.  They are not a pinkish
purple.  They are a vibrant purple.  The leaves are a
dark green..not a pea green or a grayish green.  
All up and down the stalk, wherever ther is a leaf,
one of these slender stems comes out of the v of the
leaf with the cluster of flowers on the end.
Do you think I should submit this to Mystery Magazine?
