What a surprise

We planted a cutting that we got from next door many years ago, and forgot about it. It always seemed a bit pathetic and spindly, but this year we have, at last, reaped the benefit of our patience. What a beautiful sight, and, the best part is, there are more buds to come. I have just found out that it is called Justicia carnea, or Brazilian Plume.
  We have managed to do about 8 or 9 cuttings. Fingers crossed!!
