A strange plant has sprung from my garden, right next to the house. It looks as though it will one day grow to be a budleia-sized shrub, has a reddish stem, large linear leaves (about 25cm long) of a medium to dark green, and beautiful flowers, growing each on its own stem straight out the top of the main stem (as it were). The flowers are delicate pink at the top, fading to white and yellow at the bottom, and are deep like an orchid's (?) flowers, with stamen in the bottom of the bowl... They're smallish for the size of the plant, only about 7 or 8 cm in diameter and depth... Does anyone know, from this rather odd description, what it might be? I live in the East of England, where the soil is sandy and well drained, and the plant is growing right by an east-facing wall
