Nothing registered when I first heard the
name frangipani. I thought, "What
is that? Is that a tree? Or a flower?" Little did I know that I have actually seen
this before.
Frangipanis are commonly known as plumeria. Now, did that name sound familiar now? They are those pretty and fragrant flowers
that are often seen in yellow or white although there are times that they come
in the shade of pink and orange. It
usually has five silky petals that spiral into a long bud. They are called differently in several parts
of the world which is probably the reason why it took a while before I
recognized it. For example, it is called
as Pomelia in Italy, Tipanier in Tahiti, Kemboja kuning in Malaysia, Phool in
India and Kalachuchi in the Philippines.
This tree is native to Mexico and the
Caribbean but it's often associated with the tropical islands or Hawaii and
Tahiti. Can you picture them now? One of the characteristics of Frangipani is
that they are able to maintain their colour and fragrance longer. These flowers are used in making leis to mark
important events such as marriage and birth.
Because of their bright colours, they make attractive eye-catching
leis. To make them, the flowers are
soaked in water for 10 minutes, dried and then put into a string.
