How bout the blooming petals?
Today, like every other day, we wake up empty and frightened. Don't open the door to the study and begin reading. Take down a musical instrument. Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground. ~Jelaluddin RumiNow, how about the mass flowering that's been going on? Pretty or what?
Ixora
I always get the two mixed up: Angsana or Flame of the Forest?
Bougainvillea
OK, it got too hot outside. Here's a picture of some indoor plant I found at home.

iTunes' party shuffle is playing a copy of: 04 - Isa Lei - Ry Cooder & V.M. Bhatt - A Meeting By the River, of which I have the original CD and therefore didn't steal music.

and the roadside trees are blooming as well, shrouded in beautiful flowers all. .i especially liked the yellow ones, and the pinkish ones, kind of resembling the jap tree.
Cassia fistula - the one with the yellow flowers and pods hanging down
Angsanas usually have pretty dense canopy la.. yellow flames don't have such long pods hanging downwards ; they all stick upwards.
And those 'resembling the jap tree' are called Tabebuia rosea.

Fabulous information. Thanks!
At first I thought I was licking the wrong flower nectar since I was young (a logical reason for my retarded-ness), but alas, my mental impediment wasn't due to that. Someone's obviously made a mistake here.
That red flower IS the Ixora and the red species is common in Singapore (what I used to sample, though i never found them sweet... liars!). The leaf and flower profile, including color graduation and texture of the leaves, are more Ixora than Lantanas (which have rougher textured leaves).
Compare to Miyagi's Ixora photo with one here:

These are Lantanas... see the differences?
