    Thank you. Yes its a shrub. I put it in the kidney bean in the front yard,around the Royal Poinciana tree and Snow Queen Hibiscus bushes. I call it my Red and pink kidney. Smell is very little.

    I love ixora. It is relatively new to the deep south garden pallette. Had one in my closest to the house bed and tried to transplant it. Oops. Think I gotta get a new one.

    Very pretty Giz, they don't overwinter well north of the lake here. I wish they did.

    Beautiful! If you have them in the deep south, they probably wouldn't make it here so well - I love the flowers on it, I think I've seen fake ones as a part of a silk arrangement but never seen the 'real thing.'
