Here's my response I left in liquidwater_phils message board: Hi! Thanks for dropping by my tropical home garden album. The "baby bloomer" you saw is locally named "Shanghai Beauty": Other names: Coral Plant, Peregrina, Spicy Jatropha (Jatropha integerrima, Jatropha hastata, Jatropha curcas). The actual individual bloom is quite small, about half inch across the face of the bloom when opened, and they come in many colors but the dark magenta pink is more common than the pink specimen you saw in my shot. So what you saw in the picture was just magnified about 3-5 times. The reason I took this macro view is because when blooms are quite small, people tend to overlook them or fail to give these teenie weenie beauties a second look. But if you examine them quite closely, you'd be amazed by the details. That's what I was trying to do here - have WS viewers give that needed second look to this otherwise insignificant plant flower. So thank you for taking that second look! God bless! ~~~Mary Ann
