Firecracker Plant / Mexican Honeysuckle is an evergreen shrub is native to Mexico and South America. It is cultivated as a garden plant in India for its plumes of orange, narrow-tubular flowers. Mexican Honeysuckle has large, narrow-elliptic, velvety, medium green leaves. Bright orange tubular flowers are borne in clusters all year. The tubular flower clusters, up to 1.5 inches long, are a beautiful bright orange and appear at the end of branches. It is an easy to grow plant, and tolerates various types of soils.
I am not sure whether this is Cape Honeysuckle plant or not... Leafs look to be larger.
