These scarlet flowers in dense rounded clusters 2–5 inches (5.1–12.7 cm) across are produced almost all year long. They are used in warm climates for hedges and screens, foundation plantings, massed in flowering beds, or grown as a specimen shrub or small tree.

The flowers, leaves, roots, and the stem are used to treat various ailments in the Indian traditional system of medicine, the Ayurveda, and in various folk medicines.

By the way: Ayurverda, a song by Echoes Of Nature, A Very Relaxing Music Therapy on Spotify. Indeed Very relaxing!!!

Oh!..Finally the fruits produced by this flora are a source of dietary.

I hope you get to BLOOM like the FLAMES OF THE WOOD!!!!!!

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!!!!
