Red Ixora

 

          On the way to our Rice Mill in Ponneri we visited our friend's Mill.  The garden there has the most amazing collection of Ixora plants . The red colour flowers has such a velvety pretty colour.  I have for ever been taking cuttings when I visit there and have been unsuccessfully trying to propagate it. This time the gardener there found a long stem with some roots on it and he happily pulled it out for me. I brought it home cut most of it and have planted it in a pot. Will love to have it flower in my garden, I am hoping that this time the plant will grow and flower.
