Saluting every life with a flower each day! Flowers are soul of the planet, blooming to play music with silent notes. Smile at them as they are sweet hearted!! Only the photographs taken by me are uplinked. I lean heavily to http://www.flowersofindia for flower identification and descriptions. Looking forward to valuable comments and suggestions.
Ixora is a common flowering shrub native to South India and Srilanka. It is a dense multi branched ever green shrub. The glossy, leathery. oblong leaves about 10 cm long are carried in opposite pairs on stem. Small tubular, scarlet flowers in dense rounded clusters are produced year long. It comes in a variety of colours. From my childhood i have been curiously observing this flower as it was available in plenty all around me. This flower was photographed on 19th August 2011 in the CSRTI, Mysore campus.
