Field Notes

Description:

Russelia equisetiformis, commonly known as Firecracker plant, Coral plant, Coral fountain, Coralblow and Fountain plant, is a weeping subshrub in the Plantaginaceae family. It used to be a very popular ornamental pot plant, but now it's not as common as it was. This yellow-ivory cultivar, was spotted in my neigbourhood, Nea Demetrias suburb, Volos city, Greece.
