Crossandra infundibuliformis, Begonia fuchsioides, and Strobilanthes dyerianus in my side garden

Thanks for the comment. I actually have to get a photo with the sun shining on them. : > )

A beautiful rich combination of leaf and colour ; lovely

Beautiful colour on the crossandra (I always think of it as Fire Glow) looks great - it's got such lovely foliage as well.

Inverglen, I put these plants in this section of the garden about 3 years ago...I was trying to put plants together that would look interesting with variegated leaves and nice flowers. Thanks.

Bernieh:

Crossandra is commonly called/sold as Firecracker flower plant here. It such a compact flowering little shrub, however, doesn't seem to grow very tall. I've
read it can grow to at least 4 feet / 1.3 meter tall.
