Thanks Michaelcali and Scott Rasmussen. Cyanotis cristata is the perfect plant.
Agreed, it's something in the family Commelinaceae; The fuzzy flowers might make it a species of Cyanotis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanotis; http://www.diversityoflife.org/cgi-bin/d...
looks like a species of tradescantia, or perhaps asiatic dayflower (commelina sp)
