Justicia, Brazilian Plume Flower 'Huntington' (Justicia carnea)
Has been in a pot for 3 years, think it'll be better in the ground.
A beautful color of watermelon pink.
Blooms on each branch.
I have had this plant for 2-3 years. Here in MD, I have to take it in for the Winter.
This is the top of the plant. Taken 7/19/07
