Lone flowerlet of the Ixora

The result of our evening walk. The dog returned with a flowerlet on top of her head after she inspected the underside of the flowering Ixora bush.

Also called Jungle Gerbera or the Flame of the Woods, Ixora blossoms typically look like big umbrellas of these tiny flowerlets clustered together. The flowers can be red, orange or yellow. Despite the bright colours, the Ixora plant is not toxic to dogs so there was no need to be overly concerned.

I kept looking to see if the flower would drop off her head the rest of the walk. It never did.

It was only when we got back that I realised it was kept stuck to her head because of the sticky sap that has cobwebbed all over the area above her eyes. Right time for a shower, Donna!

  1. A little late for her Easter bonnet.

    • She inspects the same bush every time we go that way… I can’t control her involvement in plant pollination though!

  2. Natural glue!

  3. Donna looks pretty with that little flower on her head even if there is sticky stuff holding it on!!!

  4. Silly how that got there!

    • It’s routine for her to stick her head under that bush but this is the first time it happened! XD
