It's a very pretty plant. Let us know how it does later on this summer, please.

Ricky, that is beautiful! especially knowing where it came from it is a valued treasure, found a perfect home in your garden.
I have seen the orange ixoras at some of the resorts in Jamaica, I wonder what is the difference between the hybrid and the naturally orange. Maybe the hybrid wont get the same orange color from a cutting?

Sylvia - all the ones you see in Jamaica come from Homestead and they are most likely the hybrids. I've brought home cuttings from Jamaica and had them revert back to yellow or white. Most of the non-native plants in Jamaica were imported from nurseries in South Florida, mostly Homestead, when the building boom began back in the late 70s.

Cuttings from the hybrid will usually yield orange flowers, but many will, over time, revert. The seeds produce almost all yellow.

Thanks, good info!
