Ixora is a genus from the family Rubiaceae, consisting of tropical evergreens and shrubs. Though native to tropical areas in Asia, especially India, ixora now grows commonly in tropical climates in the USA, such as Florida. Ixora is also commonly known as West Indian Jasmine. Other common names include: rangan, kheme, ponna, chann tanea, techi, pan, jarum-jarum, Jungle flame, Jungle geranium, and many more. Plants possess leathery leaves, ranging from 3 to 6 inches in length, and produce large clusters of tiny flowers in the summer. Members of Ixora prefer acidic soil, and are suitable choices for bonsai.

Javanica or Jejarum - This is one of the best known garden shrubs in Malaysia. It loves the sun. In the local language ~Jejarum~ means ~Needle flower~ because the buds look like needles. Kids like to suck the nectar from the flowers which are very sweet.
Originating in the Asia-Pacific, it blooms all year round and comes in a variety of colors the most common being bright red. Ixoras make good hedges.

Bougainvillea

Pokok Bunga Kertas (bahasa Inggeris: "bougainvillea") mempunyai bunga berwarna-warni yang berkembang sepanjang tahun dan oleh itu, telah menjadi pilihan tanaman hiasan tropika yang sangat popular. Berasal dari Amerika Selatan, pokok bunga kertas sering ditanam di taman-taman, kawasan perumahan, dan kawasan hiasan laman. Semasa pokok bunga kertas berbunga, adalah kebiasaannya bahawa kebanyakan daunnya akan luruh dan meninggalkan bunga-bunga dan dahan-dahan yang menarik. Nama botani bunga ini Bougainvillea spp.

Pokok bunga kertas mendapat nama disebabkan bunganya yang nipis dan mempunyai ciri-ciri seperti kertas. Nama Inggeris bunga ini, iaitu Bougainvilla, pula dinamakan sempena nama Louis Antoine de Bougainville, seorang Komander Laut Perancis.

Pokok bunga kertas tergolong dalam famili Nyctaginaceae yang mengandungi 28 genus dan 250 spesies. Terdapat tiga spesies utama bougainvilla di Malaysia, iaitu B. glabra, B. spectabilis, dan B. Mrs. Butt. Banyak kacukan telah dilakukan daripada tiga spesies asal ini untuk menghasilkan pokok bunga kertas yang mempunyai pelbagai warna kelopak, baik selapis mahupun banyak lapis.

Pokok bunga kertas juga menjadi pilihan kacukan untuk menjadikan pokok bunga kertas yang mempunyai pelbagai dahan dengan bunga yang berlainan warna. Pokok bunga kertas menjadi pilihan ramai disebabkan bunga berwarna-warni yang cantik dan tahan lama, mudah dijaga, serta pokoknya yang tahan lama sehingga melebihi 20 tahun (jika dijaga dengan betul). Pokok bunga kertas kini juga menjadi pilihan bagi menghasilkan pokok bonsai renek.

Bujang Velly

The Bujang Valley or Lembah Bujang is a sprawling historical complex and has an area of approximately 224 square km. Situated near Merbok, Kedah, between Gunung Jerai in the north and Muda River in the south, it is the richest archaeological area in Malaysia.

Archaeological research indicates that there was an old Hindu-Buddhist empire built here. The name itself is roughly translated into "Dragon Valley". The area consists of ruins that may date more than 1,500 years old. More than fifty ancient tomb temples, called candi, have also been unearthed, many of which were built during the Bujang Valley civilization's heyday. The most impressive and well-preserved of these is located in Pengkalan Bayang Merbok. The Bujang Valley Archaeological Museum is also located here.
