Ixora Coccinea

We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.
~Samuel Smiles~


 I believe this flower is a member of Ixora coccinea family, known as the Jungle Geranium. This flowering plant or shrub is common in Asia. In the Philippines this plant is locally known as santan, most used as hedges because of its tight and most branched characteristics making it very tolerable in hard pruning.

Have a Nice Day.
