"Panama Queen"

Cairns Botanic Gardens, FNQ

I Googled and found the identity of this flower... so handy to be able to do this!
I just typed in "tropical, pink flower orange berries" and up popped a page of
photos to choose from, and I found a match, and its called Aphelandra sinclairiana, or "Panama Queen"
Has anyone seen this one growing? I was rather taken by the leaves too.. reminded me of a loquat tree in my photo.

Coleen informed me this is also called "Shrimp plant" and I checked - Google again - she is right, it is!

It is also a similar bloom to our "Shrimp Plant".

The leaves are similar to loquat, perhaps in the same family.
