Frangipani

Frangipani
Plumeria, known as frangipani, is a genus of flowering plants in the subfamily Rauvolfioideae, of the family Apocynaceae. Most species are deciduous shrubs or small trees.


The frangipani is an iconic tropical tree bearing clusters of colorful and scented flowers during the warmer months of November through to April. Flowers appear in clusters at the end of branches and have a very distinctive fragrance. The petals are waxy and the center of the flower is a different color - just like the most common variety which has white flowers with a yellow center. Unlike some flowering trees which bloom for a few days or weeks, frangipani flower for months.


With flowers ranging from deep crimson to pale pink, white and yellow to orange, and every shade in between there are plenty of varieties to choose from.
