Flower Photo: Ixora Chinensis from Okinawa, Japan

This flower grows almost everywhere in Okinawa and may be found throughout Asia.

In Japan, it is called Sandanka.

Today Doc Graff and I were on a mission down at the southern end of the island.

It's been awhile since I posted any new flowers so we decided to stop at the DIY store.

That's where I shot photos of the Fox Face plant and thought I was going to jail.

This time, though, I had a plan.

It went like this. Find a plant with nice flowers and some sort of name on it.

Pay for the thing. Get out of the store. Take it home and shoot as many photos as you like.

That's what I did. Only, I took it to my new office.

The place is still under construction.

So, this is all you get to see.

Should I take the flowers home ?

Say something like, "Look, sweetheart. I was thinking about you today."

Er, maybe I should wait until right after I do something real stupid.

And get out of jail !
