Canvas - Frangipani (Plumeria rubra)

from $40.00
Frangipani (Plumeria rubra), is a genus of deciduous shrubs or small trees belonging to the dogbane family. They boast a tropical heritage, hailing from the Neotropical realm – Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and even reaching Florida in the north. While native to these warm locales, their beauty shines in other tropical regions like Hawaii and the Arabian Peninsula, captivating hearts with their vibrant blooms and intoxicating fragrance. Frangipani come in a variety of stunning colors, from classic white and creamy yellow to fiery red and vibrant pink. Their blossoms, usually arranged in clusters at branch ends, feature five waxy petals that unfurl into pinwheel or star-like shapes. Each bloom's captivating scent, often described as a mix of jasmine, citrus, and gardenia, fills the air, particularly at night, adding a touch of paradise to any setting. Despite their alluring beauty, frangipani flowers offer no sweet nectar to pollinators. Instead, they rely on their intoxicating fragrance to attract moths, who become instrumental in transferring pollen between blooms. Though they may not provide nectar, their fragrant charm has led to their use in perfumes and as a popular component of leis in Hawaii.
