Some sort of indoor plant that curls up on its stem. Looks like it likes the sunlight. I don't think I want to touch it but it's so curious. No! I resist the urge.

Don't know the name Frank but they do look rather strange. Good one for this Friday!

It's one of the many Coleus species (Solenostemon scutellarioides) Frank.
The 'curled' leaves might indicate that there's either a watering versus sunlight problem (a coleus does less well in full sun) or that the plant is suffering from a disease or has some tiny aphids. I agree with you that the situation is not normal.

I hope however that I'm wrong so that the plant still has a long time to go and you can enjoy it.

Regards, Cornelius.

How unique and pretty Frank. This reminds me of the wood shaved off a pencil point when sharpening.

My goodness...! What would we do without our precious agent SEAS?! Isn't he just wonderful with a ready answer to the strangest posts and questions...?
This is one of the loveliest and most bizarre 'invalids' among the plants.
Sad and beautiful.
