🌼 Ixora coccinea was known as Santan Flower in the Philippines. Santan has many colors like white, yellow, and red.

“According tosteemit.com.” Ixora is a genus of flowering plants in the Rubiaceae family. Ixora or commonly known as the ” Red Santan”. Santan is widely cultivated as a landscape and garden plant. Flower colors would range from crimson red, yellow, orange to cream and pure white. Though we have our native varieties, none of these garden-popular santans is proudly Philippine native. The white variety is I. finlaysoniana, a Thai species. The red is either I. coccinea or I. javanica, respectively from China and Indonesia. Which makes you wonder why we have to look outside our backyard just to find flowers for our gardens.
