A Cluster of Tropical Charm

Jungle Geranium (Ixora coccinea), a plant that has charmed generations with its dense clusters of bright blooms and lush green foliage. Sometimes called Ixora or Flame of the Woods, this flower is both ornamental and deeply symbolic.

Unlike many flowers that bloom individually, the Jungle Geranium grows in dense, rounded clusters that look like nature’s own bouquets. The tiny four-petaled flowers come in shades of red, orange, yellow, and pink. Together, they create a striking display of color that feels almost festive. Each cluster can hold dozens of blossoms, making the plant appear as if it’s always celebrating life.

The Jungle Geranium is native to South and Southeast Asia, where it thrives in warm, humid climates. Today, it is a common sight in gardens, parks, and even temple grounds across the tropics. Its evergreen nature, year-round blooming, and resilience make it a favorite among gardeners and landscapers.
