That looks like Lion's ear to me - Leonotis leonurus

I agree with what Lin said :-)

Wally, this is Brazilian Button. Hope this helps.

As mentioned on your other thread, this plant is not Leonotis leonurus, but rather Leonotis nepetifolia. There is constant confusion between the two species, but the shape of the leaves is an easy way to tell the difference. It is known commonly as Annual Lion's Ear and it reseeds freely. When the spiny, green calyces turn tan in color then you can collect ripe seed, if desired. Be careful though because those spines can be painful!

Thanks I thought that was incorrect as I have seen Brazilian Button flowers and they sure did not look like this. I am not sure if my Brazilian Button flower will bloom this year as it seems to be just setting there doing nothing for a month now. I am hoping to get a few seeds to plant next spring if possible. Still waiting for my chocolate plants seeds to dry they seem to take a long time. Does anyone know how to harvest chocolate plant seeds??? Again many thanks it fun to try different plants and learn how to care for them.
