Did the Justicia on Gardening Australia last night?

Missed the program Katie, but may get it on catchup. It looks similar to mine - very pretty. Is it? 🤔 @brightcolours

I don't have any but had seen others posting theirs recently and wondered if that's what yours was?

I've had a chance to catch up on last nights program and they are the same. Found this on the web "Also known as red Justicia, though the taxonomists have removed it from genus Justicia now. " @brightcolours

Katie is there a way to add stuff to the Encyclopaedia entry? @brightcolours

Family: Acanthaceae Genus: Megaskepasma Species: Erythrochlamys

Oh! 😳 Nomenclature is ever changing in the plant world!! Hard to keep up. #namechange #justicia

No way to add to plant entries once created. @ausgardentags @ukgardentags
