good question,
During a long stay in Rasmadhoo island in June and July 1998. Also happened to be the blooming season, of Vihalagondima, everywhere in the bushes it was glowing,the red flames in the strong noon light.
what fascinated me was the process of its blooming the moods, from a tiny olive green bud, it turns to,lemon Ocher,and to a warm cadmium red.
