Feb 12 2008


Frangipani tree. This tree flowers at the height of summer & comes in white, yellow, apricot, light pink & hot pink. This is one in my front garden & appears to thrive on neglect unlike my others which are tended & haven't even flowered ! The downside of these trees is that they shed everything in winter & look incredibly ugly but the scent from the flowers in the summer is so divine that it makes up for winters ugliness.
