Flowers: crossandra infundibuliformi, firecracker plant and Pachystachys spicata cardinal's guard plant


We are revising our naming of the plants pictured here. The flowers in the following two photos flowers are now classified as Pachystachys spicata Cardinal's guard.





And here is a yellow one, identified by my Facebook friend, Dr. Romana de los Reyes.
as a yellow crossandra infundibuliformi firecracker plant.


This has to be differentiated from this other "firecracker plant" displayed in guide to houseplants which are Russelias.
