Could it be a member of Justicia ? It is very pretty.
Cheers Wendy


I Googled on Justicia and saw many, very different plants.

One, Brazilian Plume Flower, Scientific Name: Jacobinia carnea (Lindl.) G.
Nicholson, Synonym: Justicia carnea, Family: Acanthaceae has a similar form
but a different colour. I'm puzzled :-)

But I have the name of the head gardener at the Castle so I might mail and
ask him, he was a very helpful chap.
