A tropical shrub with star-shaped flowers in bright pink that grows up to 5 feet.  A native of Mexico, this flower is  widely cultivated in the Philippines.  The flowers attract butterflies, it is sweet and fragrant, especially after sunset.



Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does.  Love is a battle, love is a war; love is growing up. ~ James Baldwin
