Plumeria alba - the Frangipani

This is an add-on to last night's post to get a closer view of the Frangipani (Plumeria alba) that featured in the third photograph.
It is a small tree and can be found in many South African gardens. This is not surprising as they readily grow from cuttings and the flowers make a beautiful show of colour during the summer months.

It is indigenous to the West Indies.



I like to think of them as friendly flowers. These were photographed last season at St Phillips Church.
