could someone ID this plant please?
three of us are scratching our collective heads – jacobean summin? – south american?-

Dunno, but its very pretty Pepe………

Keep thinking is a Justicia, maybe J. carnea???

PM is right, it’s Justicia carnea. Damn! I saw it and thought ‘Woohoo, one I know!” but got pipped at the post. :(

“pipped”? I was 4 hours ahead of the field! I’d say “smashed at the post”… hee hee hee hee.

besides, I was sure Bubba was going to name it while I checked one of me books!

many thanks oh master (and apprentice)

brazilian plume flower, jacobinia (that’s the one we were trying to remember), flamingo flower – are the common names

ROFL! You had to check your books? Damn! Should be mine by default then!

been a while since I had seen one, so yeah, the books are a great reference. They don’t just look good on the shelf!

I did notice you had posted on other threads, talking about your pet detective work, after Pepe had put up the original ID shots, so I guessed you had seen the images!

Well, how about that! You learn something new every day! I knew Jacobinia pauciflora ‘Firefly’ which has orange and yellow flowers and doesn’t tolerate any sun, and I knew Justicia coccinea (long time favourite) and Justicia carnea (which I’ve been wanting to get my hands on for some time as I love them) but until your above comment made me do a google search Bubba, I had no clue the names were interchangeable and therefore these familiar plants related! Jacobinia pauciflora is also known as Justicia rizzini (or something similar) and Justicia carnea is also known as Jacobinia carnea. Wonder which one’s the obsolete name and which one’s the new one?

I guess it’s like Cordyline terminalis/Cordyline fruticosa (another I can’t remember which is the new name)

Justicia carnea is pretty common over here. I
