Bloomed for you ...

Scientific name: Plumeria pudica
Wild plumeria, bridal bouquet, white frangipani or fiddle leaf plumeria is an evergreen species of plumeria native to Panama, Columbia and Venezuela. It is an easy to grow plant. Leaves are dark green and fiddle shaped or spoon shaped. They bloom very heavily. Large clusters of bright white flowers with yellow centre form a bouquet shape and hence the name bridal bouquet. On several occasions i had photographed this flower in the past, but this snap i liked the most as i snapped it immediately after a brief drizzle in the morning of 16th September, 2011 in the home of the uncle in Mysore. I dedicate this flower to my dear Manikkutty, my daughter, today being her birthday!
