Brilliant Frangipanni


This frangipanni is bright pink/almost red. It looks very striking with the dark green leaves. They come in many colours. This plant Plumeria makes a very attractive small tree in the garden. The flower emits a scent and the bark produces poisonous sap. We now have many varieties compared to decades back when only the white variety was seen, usually planted in cemeteries.

  1. My sister kids me when I play with the word 'frangipanni,' which I love to say! Such a pretty sound to match its colourful beauty!

  2. I love the coloured frangipanni's, but my very favourite is the white one I saw in Townsville Australia that looked luminous at night.
