Another ornamental favorite, santan is the familiar garden shrub adorned with little red flowers borne in cymes. The species originally came from India, but has since been cultivated in the Philippines. Children collect the little santan flowers and create necklaces with them. Adults, however, procure and use them for treatment of dysentery and other diseases.
I'm learning a lot from your photos :)
I really like the sepia effect. Works really well with this because the flowers are a light color and it really makes them pop.
