Ixora

Nature's divine creation is flora
Although there are numerous breeds
My favorite flowering plant is Ixora
The most beautiful flower indeed

Since Ixora has attractive colors,
It is also called as Jungle flame
I am magnetized to the pleasant odor
and would love to proclaim

Usually the flowers are solitary
but Ixoras are inflorescent.
Fragrances they spread,ajar the nectary,
an ancient antidepressant

The enthralling colors welcome bees
butterflies,insects and humming bird
I enjoy the serenic beauty,without fees
just by sowing pint-sized Ixora seeds

A lovely, well-written tribute to your favorite flower, Supraja. I wasn't familiar with that name, so I looked it up and it is very pretty, especially the pink ones. Best wishes for the contest. Sandra

Since I enjoy the company of flowers I loved your poetic description of Ixora, although unknown to me now is known. Excellent writing dear, Supraja. A seven.
