Russelia equisetiformis ofcourse This is also known as fire crackers
Russelia equisetiformis from Herbal garden samalkha Panipat: Russelia equisetiformis Most common ornamental plant in Mysore and southern cities. One should always provide bright sunlight for this straggling shrub. Otherwise the flowering is reduced. I always thought that it is Russelia juncea. May be I was wrong, or the name has been changed? No …, your identification is right, only that it is now considered as synonym of R. equisetiformis. nice colors, but I have the same problem, these small cylinders are so difficult to get in sharp focus… I have tried many times… but seems you have the same problem.. I think next time instead of hand held I’ll try on tripod and see what can be done, and with or without flash… may be there is a little shake in the camera or the plant/subject which being cylindrical does not provide the camera to fix its sensors on!!! Taking picture of red subjects is always tricky…. there should be a scientific reason for it may be because of highest wavelength. Russelia equisetiformis.
Common Names: firecracker plant, coral plant, coralblow, fountain plant. Family: Scrophulariaceae. Needs full sunlight for good flowering. efloraindia: 211111 BRS189: Sharing the images of Russellia juncea from Coimbatore. Ornamental plant from a house garden.
