I won't have to wait much longer for the white coated men to come for me.
Before they do can any of you expert flower power photographers tell me what the plant is.
My late wife had it given two years ago and I keep it well watered on the window bottom, cutting bits off it as it gets too big. It's about two feet high now. No one who calls has a clue or how to look after it for the best.

Poinsettia, grown for the Christmas market due to its red bracts, it will only get red bracts again when it has 12 hours of darkness and the same of daylight. It is best kept short, cut back about 8 to 12 inches from the base, it will however bleed, so don't do it all at once.
I don't know if the plant is of any attachment to yourself, but they are usually thrown after the bracts have gone, they are part of the grow and throw market, Poinsettias, and Potmums, are some that require specific light regimes to flower at a specific time so are discarded when the flowers, bracts, have gone.
