Just documenting my Ochna serrulata plant because it’s pretty rare around here and I don’t even know if you can buy it. Wikipedia says it’s known under following names: carnival ochna, bird’s eye bush, Mickey mouse plant.

Keeping the plants indoors during winter isn’t ideal so some might not flower or take a very long time to do so. I also noticed that with plants grown from seeds it very much depends on the individual. Some just flower more easily than others. Genetic variety I guess. Here are the photos:
