The species Plumeria is widely known under its common name "Frangipani" who was
an Italian living in the 12th century. As the legend goes he created a famous perfume and
a few hundred years later European immigrants discovered a tree with beautiful flowers of
similar fragrance in the Caribbean.
Plumerias are smaller trees which can grow to a height of 10 m or 30 feet.
The highly fragrant flowers emerge from the tip of thick branches and are most abundant
just before the beginning of the raining season in the tropics.
The plants will shed their leaves during the dry season and thus are able to survive longer
periods of drought. In areas with sufficient rain and warmth however the plants may keep their
leaves all year long and produce flowers any time.
More than 200 varieties are in cultivation today with flowers ranging from deep red to
multi-colored rainbow types.
We will list and post pictures of more Plumeria varieties soon.
For the moment we have a collection of about 123 different varieties on offer but we hope to
have more by next year. If you are interested -
