The image does reflect the correct colour for 'Fruit Salad' http://www.kartuz.com/pc/51895/7RFPJ1/Justicia+Fruit+Salad.html
'Fruit Cocktail' looks about the same: http://toptropicals.com/catalog/uid/justicia_fruit.htm
Whether it's a cocktail or salad, Justicia is correct.

Kartuz makes many mistakes with common names and is not an authoritative source. The accepted common name is "Shrimp Salad Fruit Cocktail" (not Fruit Salad). The plant listings are duplicates and the one listed here http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/198668/ should be removed/deleted.

Would you say this is wrong? http://www.huntingtonbotanical.org/WhatsInBloom/sept05/sept05-Pages/Image100.html

ps. The cultivar name is 'Fruit Salad', not the Common Name as you mention. http://www.flickr.com/photos/47833704@N08/4377339021/

Yes, I would. I think that's from where the original photo came (Huntington Botanical).

You seem to be confused with Common Names and Cultivar Names. What are you saying?

Here's the label showing 'Fruit Salad' as the cultivar name.

Yeah, one person started with the wrong name all the way through the system.
