Mystery plant in Louisiana

Hi all,

A friend gave me a cutting of a NOID plant that grows wild in her yard, needs sun & attracts butterflies. The flowers look somewhat like Penstamon but the leaf does not, at least for the pictures that I can find. Flowers don't have the 2 & 3 pattern that I read about.

Shiny green leaves are serrated and opposite (just learning, hope I have that right).

About 3/4 of an inch between the leaves, flowers are about 1/4 inch in diameter, leaf itself is slightly over 1 inch long. No smell. Many plants are invasive in my hot, wet climate so I need to watch for that. Appreciate your help!

To show color, cutting has been placed next to Tradescantia pallida 'Purple Heart.' Click "Next" on link below to see 6 pictures.
