Explore Front Page May17/14 Ixora Plant on Maui, Hawaii. Ixora is a genus of flowering plants in the Rubiaceae family. It consists of tropical evergreen trees and shrubs and holds around 500 species. Though native to the tropical and subtropical areas throughout the world, its centre of diversity is in Tropical Asia. Ixora also grows commonly in subtropical climates in the United States, such as Florida. It is commonly known as West Indian Jasmine. Other common names include: rangan, kheme, ponna, chann tanea, techi, pan, santan, jarum-jarum, Jungle flame, Jungle geranium, and many more. The plants possess leathery leaves, ranging from 3 to 6 inches in length, and produce large clusters of tiny flowers in the summer. Members of Ixora prefer acidic soil, and are suitable choices for bonsai. It is also a popular choice for hedges in parts of South East Asia, like in Thailand. In tropical climates they flower year round. Red ixora flowers are commonly used in Hindu worship, as well as in Indian folk medicine. Wikepedia.

We have daily visits to the suet feeders from the Northern Flickers in our area. They are beautiful and very gentle birds. If there is another bird feeding on the suet the Flicker will sit and patiently wait it's turn until the feeding bird has finished and left. Thank you for your visits, comments and invitations to groups, dear friends. Have a wonderful day-:)
