Also known as Ixora. This was a plant growing in the greenhouse but I've seen these growing as large shrubs in red or hot pink in both Florida and Hawaii. They have a pointed leathery leaf that looks like it's been waxed. I'd not seen this color before and really liked it. My Fx2 post for this week.

Lovely plant Kathy!!! Love the color and shape of the leaves - nice composition and clarity as well. Thanks for sharing. This plant not seen in my area. I'm sure Longwood Gardens should have some on display or perhaps, the Philadelphia Flower Show. I'll have to visit either one of both!!!

I like the play between the predominant red flowers and the white frosted leaves. Nice composition Kathy.

This makes a beauty of a Friday Foofy Foto, Kathy.
I have seen ones like them and I love the waxed look.
You did good.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Tropical butterflies are fond of Ixora nectar. Very fine Foofy Friday image Kathy.

You always do the blooms justice, Kathy. I just wish your images were scratch and sniff.
