ASA,

Looks like Acanthaceae family. Did a google image search an found your purple one turns out to be Barleria cristata and the yellow one Barleria prionitis.

Thanks Farooq. I googled the purple one and I do believe what I have is Barleria. However, the yellow one is a vine and the flowers are quite typical and very different from barleria.

Aoa. yes u are right the second image of plant is Barleria cristata and the first image is ruttya fruticosa yellow.

I am interested in the first one, how is it progressing?

The leaves of the ruttaya were curling a month ago so I pruned the side shoots. Obviously wrong move since no blooms. I have another ruttaya which has flowered reddish, I didn't prune that one. These are vining shrubs. I will try to airlayer themand take cuttings for you Brig sahe. I think the best time to do that would be in July-August?

I have two big bushes of the redish one and can make many plants if some one is interested. I would like to have the yellow one.
