As kids, we would usually go to our "terrace" to play. We would pretend to prepare and cook burger patties made out of dampened soil that we took from the flower pots of my aunt. She's been taking care of the plants there since the beginning of time. This is a photo of a red santan (Ixora) which I took on October 16, 2005. These flowers are very common in the Philippines and they would come in different colors. Most kids in the Philippines during that time would pull the stamen then suck the nectar covering it. In some cases, it would turn up dry and disappoint the eager child.
