     » “Pocketbook Plant”
     » “Slipper Flower”
     » “Slipperwort”
     » “Lady’s Purse”
     » “Pocketbook Flower”.
The genus contains almost 400 different species.
Missouri Botanical Garden says, “It is a somewhat demanding plant.”

Brought by our friends Suzanne and Greg last night when they came for dinner.
