Green leaves with red spots..

Asked on 16 Nov, 2007

What is this plant?! It has really nice red spots on all the leaves, and produces small purple flowers. Apologies for the bad photo :(

I guess that it's a Hypoestes - common name 'Freckle Face'. It's grown for its leaves, and it's recommended that you pinch out the flowers (if you can bear to do it!) usually grown as an annual, easily grown from seeds (I did it some years ago and they all germinated)
