Help with a flower please - 2009/03/03 18:32 Hello all. a little background. I bought a sanyo xacti camcorder/camera on ebay a little over a year ago just for its camcorder features. It collected dust in my room for about 8 months because I couldn't figure out how to use it. After I moved to Puerto Rico, I accidentally figured out how to take quality pictures with it, and have been snapping away ever since.

Literally, one day i was flipping through the camera modes and noticed that the "super macro" function was symbolized by a little flower. And then I began taking pictures of every flower I saw from then until now (which has only been a couple of months).

So I have about 30 flowers that I have no idea what they are. I don't want to clog this forum, though, so I think I'll be judicious in my requests and not submit them all at once...

In any event, does anyone know what these is flowers are? I believe I've taken pictures of red and yellow versions of this flower too. Thanks!

Re:Help with a flower please - 2009/03/03 19:16 Hey, I'm so glad that you found that macro setting!
You are surely living in a place where there are some beautiful flowers to photograph.

This one is an Ixora,
'tho I cannot tell from the photo if it is Ixora coccinea or Ixora chinensis.

Many cultivars of Ixora coccinea and Ixora chinensis are in cultivation.
The flowers range in color from red to pink as well as orange, yellow and even white: some images HERE

Re:Help with a flower please - 2009/03/03 21:20 I can see you're gonna be my greatest resource in my quest to ID my flowers... Thanks for helping the lost newbie. I will link another pic of those flowers, maybe you'll be able to tell which one it is from this photo? These ones are red, though. They were right next to each other...

From the pics that you linked, it seems my flowers haven't fully bloomed yet... maybe I'll get another pic in a couple of weeks...

Again, thanks for helping the hopeless newbie

Re:Help with a flower please - 2009/03/04 01:04 You are most welcome, I'm very happy to help,
when I can.
These just happen to be two genera that I used to grow as landscape plants when I lived in Florida.
Actually, I still have an Ixora growing in a pot,
the winters here are too cold for it to grow outside year 'round.

I wish that I could help to nail down the species of these two Ixoras ...
but I would really only be taking a wild guess.
There are hundreds of species and hybrids.
