RUTTYA FRUTICOSA

This is another interesting plant from the Acanthaceae Family. I remember we were stopped at the Malaysian customs when we tried to bring this in. That was quite an incident.

After so many months of propagation and fertilizing, this plant now looks rather pretty with its numerous attractive orange flowers. A few months ago, we purchased the yellow-coloured flower variety. There is apparently also a red flower variety around.

A link on the plant is attached below.
