I was walking home when I came across a bush of Ixora … I realised that they’re not 5 petals … I counted twice and am sure they’re only 4 petals!
I remember when we were young, we used to pluck the flower and squeeze the “nectar” from the flower … then we’ll lick it …
Actually till now, I don’t know if those little drops of liquid that comes out are poisonous or not … anyway, none of us died from it :p
A pity I don’t have my macro lens with me … else I can try taking some macro …

-
Yes

No

Hehe… seems like not many of you seen this flower…
maybe it’s location specific?
Ilike flower but I am not sure if it is poisonous or not.????????????????
It’s not poisonous but still not advisable to just drink from wild flowers :p
I am not sure if I will suck something like this though!
Haha, better not suck something you didn’t know what it was …
I was young and naive then … I won’t do that now :p
I only drink nectar from plants I know
That’s wise … least you don’t risk yourself 🙂
Ixora has many colors and quite a lot around me, but I’ve never tried to enjoy its nectar.
Well, you can if you make sure it doesn’t have pesticides on it. :p
I think I prefer to enjoy durian ice
That sounds pretty wise :p
Hmmm… You know me well… Hahayyyy…
I have not directly sprayed nectar from the plants. I have no idea if this is poisonous.
It’s not lacho, I just confirmed it :p
What a pretty flower, I have no idea if it is poisonous.
Hehe, I just confirmed that it’s ok to suck the “nectar” from the base of the flower BUT you must be sure it’s pesticide-free. You don’t die from drinking the sweet “nectar” but you’ll die from ingesting pesticide. :p
if you don’t know if something is poisonous or not, just assume it is and be careful
That’s what I do now…
but when I was young, I believed my friends and we tried the “nectar” …
luckily we’re all still alive
😐
nice work on the non five petaled flower, BTW
Haha, thanks, Alex 🙂
I expected it from Ileana, but not from you. Caught me off guard!
I do not know this flower, so I do not know if it’s poisonous
Haha … it’s ok…
thanks for dropping by 🙂
Lovely flower you found and I am not sure if it is poisonous or not.
Oh… I thought you might know…
but it’s ok… I’m still alive and kicking :p
I do not know the flowers so I do not know whether the nectar is toxic or not …. I clicked it … Is it wrong, my friend?
I guess none of us can be sure … there is no right or wrong 🙂
I do not think I saw such a flower in my area. It looks great!
Hehe .. they’ve pretty colour!
As a kid I used to wear the flowers as a earring.
Haha I can imagine how good they’ll look as earrings!
They’ve this nice pink colour!!
