    Hi toddunctious. Yes, the leaves look very similar. Are you 100% positive? I vaguely recall it had a flower (and I think it was pink) about 2 or 3 years ago.

    Is it an indoor plant. I'd say it's acanthus hungaricus if it's outdoor? What was the flower like?

    Hi Daisy. I'm fairly sure it's an indoor plant. If I recall correctly, it had a pink flower.
