    Although the flower shape is similar, something just doesn't feel right in thinking these are mimulus; for a start the flowers are much smaller than most mimulus ("mimuli?") I've grown or seen. To my shame I honestly can't remember planting them - it has been a tough year - but they are in a container, grew patiently through summer, and seem to be thriving now. DSCF9447.JPG

    Hi Simon , they're Diascia. They're a hardy perennial. Just cut them back by about half when they finish flowering and they'll start again in the Spring.
