Saluting every life with a flower each day! Flowers are soul of the planet, blooming to play music with silent notes. Smile at them as they are sweet hearted!! Only the photographs taken by me are uplinked. I lean heavily to http://www.flowersofindia for flower identification and descriptions. Looking forward to valuable comments and suggestions.
Plumeria are a tropical flowering tree, sometimes called frangipani, in the plant family Apocynaceae. Though tropical by nature, when protected from frost, they are well suited to subtropical climates in the United States in states bordered by the Gulf of Mexico, and in Southern California. They are prolific in Hawaii.Plumeria are valued as landscape plants, ornamentals, and for their flowers. Singapore plumeria has larger flowers compared to plumeria rubra, and the longish petals are almost not overlapping. Leaves do not have pointed ends like plumeria rubra, and are rather blunt. This photograph was taken on 22nd April, 2012 in the CSRTI, Mysore campus, where i presently work.
