Pentas lanceolata are also called Egyptian Stars Cluster
The plant develops small, star shaped flowers in bright, bold hues for summer long blooms.
The Pentas shines even in the hottest of summers.

I found this flower on vacation two months ago in Tainan, Taiwan.
Here's a fun fact 😁😂
It is commonly used in Traditional medicine in tropical Africa to treat infections in the lymph nodes, treat diarrhea, snake bites, malaria, and round worm in the body.
The Pentas flower, stems and roots consists of bioactive chemicals which are used to treat the above as they are known to have antibacterial properties.

Happy beautiful day
