The Most Popular Tropical Flower?



‘Ixora’ is probably the first tropical flower I know since I was a child. I remember the red big bold Ixora that I brought to a ‘Teacher’s Day Ceremony’ as ‘Ixora’ in Thai name - 'Khem' represents a sharp wisdom. Considered a very popular flower in Thailand, Ixora can be seen in every park and mostly on street isle.




There are so many species of Ixora in variety of colors. Some have pleasant fragrance like Siamuse white lxora and ‘Ixora Spectabilis Wall’ while some are edible like Ixora longifolia Sm. or West Indian Jasmine.
