The original santan comes with bigger leaf and bears flower in variety of colors. It comes with yellow, red, pink, white, you name a few. But in the year 1998, a new geno of these plant introduces in the country, the draft santan. The today's santan you commonly see in the plant boxes are the new geno. The later is no longer exist. It must be extinct now or become rare.
Indeed.
