Off the top of my head no idea, can you give us a little more to go off, I'm assuming its a herb you're trying to identify Chris? Where did you get it from? Was it purchased in the UK? etc

Can you also give us a little description of what the plant looks like, photos don't always give enough detail. For instance to me, it looks like the leaves are fleshy which may point to this being a member of the succulent family? I have a lot of herb identification books I could go through but before I embark on the task I'd like a little more information to go on.

Have to admit that without a few more clues, I can only hazard the vaguest of guesses. A Plectranthus perhaps, but the flowers are "wrong" and Jenny reckons its not woolley enough. Then I wondered about one of the herbaceous Clematis???? Personally I think the flowers are similar to those of a Cucubalus, but then the leaves wouldn't fit so I am a bit mystified
