Frangipani




My pink frangipani blooms again - yeah! Frangipani also known as plumeria, is belief to provide shelter to ghosts and demons. The scent of frangipani associated with pontianak and the plant especially white flowering ones are often planted in cemeteries. Oh o ...



The truth is frangipani flowers are most fragrant at night in order to lure spinx months (kupu-kupu malam) to pollinate them. The scent of the flower in the graveyard asctually masked any bad fowl smell.



The white sap produce by the plan if you snap the leave from it trunk or cut any part of the trunk may irritate the eye and skin.
