One of the prettiest Ixora in our garden / myLot

This yellow Ixora is not seen much elslewhere I had brought a cutting from my mother's garden years ago and it is doing well here. I have multiplied it by planting cuttings and they are thriving. As a child I remember neighbours coming for flowers as I was told the yellow Ixora has medicinal properties. For me more than its medicinal value I have sentimental value as each time I look at them I think of my mother. Have you got any flowers that you have picked up from your mother's s garden or do you remember your mother looking at any particular flower?

I think only the yellow variety is known to have medicinal property. I have so many other plants that remind me of my mother specially the turmeric plant. I had brought just one and now I have rows and rows.
