I love frangipannis. They are a wonderful tropical flower with the most sensational fragrance. Most of us are familiar with the most common of frangipannis - a pale yellow with a darker yellow streak. Whilst the flower and fragrance are wonderful the tree itself is quite ugly.
In winter when all the leaves have fallen it looks a stark ugly jumble of sticks, but as spring comes, there is a little activity at the pointy end of each branch and soon the buds and foliage burst forth.
It flowers contunuously for some time and the spent flowers fall in a carpet below the plant.
