It is a beauty. I have 4 of them (there were 6 before the rainy season took some down). Oddly enough my red shrimp has some upright blossoms and some that drape down...still i am sure these are Justicia brandegeeana. I call them my hummingbird feeders because hummingbirds are always feeding from them year round. They also host a variety of butterflies, but the caterpillars eat the leaves and not the bracts unless they run out of leaves so it works out for both the hummer and the caterpillars. Smiling
