Yes Lyd, that is a very good description. They grow in the shade and you have to take them with the flash, which doesn't really give a good idea of the colours. They are much more vibrant, like a hot pink.

I have seen large Justicia carnea almost 8 feet tall and over 10 feet wide in the San Francisco Bay Area. This plant when large looks like a huge pink candelabra. I used to grow this plant in the S.F. Bay Area and it grew large and bloomed off-and-on throughout the year.
