Years ago dwarf Ixoras were a craze. Everyone seemed to have it in their garden except me. I have the bush type but somehow I never got myself the dwarf ones which were just half a feet tall.
Somehow they are all kinds of issues with these plants, my friends kept complaining that no matter what they did, their plants would die on them. However, when I saw this white one I decided to buy. It was pretty, blooming so well and then one day the leaves look wilted and slowly it died despite my attempts to save it.
I wonder if it was because we tamper so much with nature that we want to adapt huge bushes to fit into our tiny containers. I have seen that happen with Lantans years ago but the ones that survived have done very well.

These are beautiful flowers. Yes, unfortunately, we have already interfered too much with nature, which is now retaliating in its own way.
Yes dear Vidocka, I think so too.
i think that your question do you think we’ve tampered with nature too much deserves a long comment.
But the answer sadly is very short. YES! We have!
The short answer is truthful enough to mean a lot. Thanks Doc for stopping by.
you are welcome, thank you for the great post.
All flowers are beautiful, dear Dawn … as far as nature is concerned, we have already destroyed a lot of it, and now nature is really avenging us
So true my friend and it makes me sad.
I just can’t do anything about it … it makes me even sadder, dear Dawn
flowers are always beautiful
They are indeed Witty Feeds.
Looks similar to my white Hydrangeas.
The petals are much sharper and trimmer than the hydrangeas.
These blooms are stunning in white.
I love the white. I want to graft a red into a white to see the effect.
I have seen some flowers similar to these. They are very interesting looking flowers
They do look very interesting and draw butterflies to the garden in large numbers. butterfly magnets we call them.
I have never seen white ixora, but many around me are pink or red or orange.
Now they come in so many colors yellows oranges, peach ,whites etc. The common ones are red and orange. However, I love the reds the most.
I once had one that was orange-yellow, which I had made as a bonsai, unfortunately, it died out of drought when I went out of town too much.
We have this but the normal size. And this particular variety of ixora is different. It has a strong smell and also it gets suckers that we just pull out as they tend to crowd the garden.
The one I had had no fragrance, absolute none. . I want to get the normal white ones now. nothing really grows that well in containers. Except of course for lettuce, tomatoes and dahlberg daisies lol
