Hello wise mnetters!
Can anyone name this plant? The lady in the nursery couldn’t remember the name and I’ve never seen anything like it!
TIA!

It's definitely Peperomia caperata as Nan says, and there is a care guide / pictures of it here if you need it www.ourhouseplants.com/plants/peperomia.

When mine was alive (overwatered and rotted in the most awful way!!) my brothers children came over once and someone said there were mice hiding in the soil and the flowers were their tails. Oh my it was so funny as at this stage one of the kids absolutely hated anything to do with rodent tails. He literally just stared at the plant for most of the afternoon and refused to walk past it without taking his eyes off the "little tails".
