My uncle has given me some bedding plants that he grew in his new GH but unfortunately he had lost the label and wasn't sure what he had sown. His best guess was Nemesia, but somehow it doesn't look like Nemesia to me. Any thoughts/suggestions?...

Definitely from the Fuchsia family (Onagraceae)

I think I might just pot them up and wait for one of them to flower then.
