The flowers are beautiful...the color is so vibrant. Your story reminds me of how we used to suck on the honey suckle flowers to taste the sweet necter when I was a child as well. Stop in and say hello. I have been busy!

These are very pretty. It's great to always have your camera ready

I like that flower very much: red, white too, beautiful colors.

These are gorgeous! I love their bright color. I have never sipped the nectar of a flower, but would like to try it sometime. Beautiful photo!

The color is so cheery. Really good shot.

Beautiful flowers. They have a very intense bright red.

Beautiful flowers. My son sucks the nectar from Honeysuckle flowers.

So bright. Not at all like the ones I'm used to seeing here in New Jersey. Lovely.

Hi there, beautiful colors, beautiful flowers and a beautiful photo. That is interesting about sipping the nectar as a child. I have never had this experience and it sounds like a lovely memory from your childhood and that's what childhood is all about. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving the nice comment.

just perfect........

Gorgeous! Your santan flowers look like our ixora's, only with smaller leaves. Well done, Jenn!

These are gorgeous! I used to sip the nectar from honey suckle when I was a kid. Still do it now when I can find some!

Parabens, lindas flores!
Um abraço. Lizete

Those flowers are very pretty.

Beautiful flowers. Oh yes, I now recollect that we used to suck the nectar too. Forgot to mention that in my flower post.

Ixora
Hi Jen,

This is known as Ixora. Is Santan a flipino name?

I have the same experience as you, sucking in the sweet nectar. Childhood days, no worries.
