What is this?

I don't know what this is - but found it in the garden near the house of my housesit.

It is a very attractive flower but does not last long - and the flower very quickly falls to the ground.

Frangipanni

How I love the fragrance of frangipanni! In the evening the scent is at it's best! There are many colours of these flowers, and probably the most common is the lemon/pale yellow variety. This pink one is in the park at the back of my current housesit.

I picked this bract of flowers and had it in a bowl as centre piece for my very small New Year's Eve event - and even today nearly a week later it is still looking good. I'd love to find a red one!
