The flowers of Ixora
On this photo of yellow Ixora coccinea, it is possible to differentiate the long stems of the flowers
which end by 4 cross-shaped petals of one centimetre. Flowers are aggregated in bunches (corymbs).
Ixora flourishes all the year, but after every blossoming, the plant has a rest about 6 weeks before taking back its growth.
A kind of maternity leave, if one can say.
