Al_Pal, do you grow it indoors? Or outdoors?

One of my favorites!

Love love LOVE plumeria! Though I’d say plumeAIRia! ;p

The Koko crater botanical garden on Oahu has trees and trees of it. Love!

I bought a little one at the Santa Cruz flea market a couple years ago. She’s not doing too good right now–needs a bigger pot & more nutrients!!! But keeps growing taller and making more leaves. I’ll accept that. :P

Weirgeld, that is a fabulous story! Thanks for sharing it with me. How many plumeria/frangipani plants do you have now?

Many, many years ago I my uncle gave me an exotic plant called a frangipani. I had it for years, knowing virtually nothing about the plant, other than it should not freeze. For twenty years, I dragged the darn plant in and out of the house when the weather got to freezing. After owning the plant for over 20 years, I got married and I went over to my new mother-in-law’s house. She was a gardener, so I wanted to sound smart and impress her. I started describing the plant and at this point she said, “That sounds like a plumeria.” I told her I didn’t think so, I was sure that it was called a frangipani. She then took me around the corner of the greenhouse, and there was a whole grove of several different colors of frangipani, or should I way plumeria! After I got over the embarrassment, she gave me cuttings of the colors that I didn’t have (I only had one)! I have traded and purchased several varieties around city. Once you start collecting, it turns into quite an addiction. I had a grower tell me, “you can never have too many plumeria, just not enought land.” Now I understand what he was saying!!

Sun ripened raspberry was always my favorite scent too. I walked into B&BW recently and they were having a sale of all things discontinued – and they just discontinued sun ripened raspberry! I grabbed the last two bottles of lotion. It was sad.
