TARENNA

An interesting plant resembling the Ixora but is actually not an Ixora.

Belonging to the same family as Ixora, this shrub produces beautiful white flowers that turn to yellow over time.

It emits a faint fragrance.

What I also like about this plant is the interesting stamen with joined anthers that thrust out of the individual flowers like arrows on a bow.

Can you imagine an army of warriors poised to shoot the arrows in unison?
