NATIVE PLANTS

Today's weather - sunny
The Ixora congesta has beautiful umbels of orange flowers with red bases. Along the Fragile Forest trail, I saw clusters of the weed Ageratum conyzoides again. The Diospyros areolata (Common Name: Kayu Arang; Family: Ebenaceae) was flushing, not blushing, with new pinkish leaves and it was apparent even from afar.
