Pink Justicia
Dianthera nodosa
(dy-ANTH-er-uh) (nod-OH-suh)
This tropical plant was blooming at Wave Hill yesterday. It is a relative of the Shrimp plant and hails from Eastern Brazil. From all accounts it is easy to grow and very free flowering. I liked the way it was blooming all the way down the stem.
This was a tiny leaved plant that was growing in pot with a Taro (which is where the shadows came from). Not sure what it was but it looked very nice.
Tune in tomorrow fro a couple of pictures of the new pup. We pick her up two weeks from last Friday.
