Don't know the actual name for this variety - all I know is that it spreads all over your garden. Always loved the variegation (woo go me) on the leaves, like someone's been at the Tippex.
Many times when children are about to begin Botany early childhood, a question arises as to whether they are ready for a school environment. The teachers of children whose birthdays are close to the cut-off point or those who have not had the benefit of a preschool experience may feel that they would benefit from an additional year of growth before entering the regular classroom surroundings. But is it a good idea to hold these children back a year at this point in their young lives? Experts tend to respond with conflicting views in the matter. Supporters of this delay policy point out that children who have birthdays close to the cut- off date are the youngest in the class and can fit in just as easily with children starting school the following year. By having them wait to start school, these students are more mature than their classmates and tend to do much better with learning the basics, such as reading, writing, and arithmetic.

Ixora is a genus from the family Rubiaceae, consisting of tropical evergreens and shrubs. Though native to tropical areas in Asia, especially India, ixora now grows commonly in tropical climates in the USA, such as Florida. Ixora is also commonly known as West Indian Jasmine. Other common names include: rangan, kheme, ponna, chann tanea, techi, pan, jarum-jarum, Jungle flame, Jungle geranium, and many more. Plants possess leathery leaves, ranging from 3 to 6 inches in length, and produce large clusters of tiny flowers in the summer. Members of Ixora prefer acidic soil, and are suitable choices for bonsai.
Red ixora flowers are commonly used in Hindu worship, as well as in Indian folk medicine.
