"Two radiant clusters of Ixora coccinea, commonly known as flame of the woods, burst forth in vivid red against a backdrop of lush green leaves. Each cluster is dense and spherical, composed of dozens of tiny, rounded petals that form a tight, almost firework-like bloom. The petals are mostly a rich crimson, though a few show hints of yellow near the center, adding warmth and subtle variation to the overall palette. The surrounding leaves are broad and glossy, their deep green tones providing a natural contrast that makes the red flowers appear even more vibrant. Light plays gently across the scene, highlighting the smooth texture of the petals and the faint veins in the leaves. The composition feels alive and celebratory—like nature’s own bouquet, glowing with tropical energy and quiet elegance. The image captures a moment of floral brilliance, where color and form converge in a display that’s both bold and harmonious." - Copilot
