Thanks for the info Len and the additional experiences John. It is
interesting that you say the fragrance of the red and pink frangipanis is
disappointing because it was actually a red flowering tree I had intended to
"borrow" a cutting from. I will have to walk that way in the morning and
take a sniff, ha ha. As for rain, we here don't have a problem (or maybe we
do dependant on how you look at it) because it hardly ever rains here. In
fact we have only had 50 ml in the past two years. Having said that the
frangipanis that are up here are really beautiful and do seem to grow very
readily with minimum care and a bit of watering!!

Happy gardening all,

My Experience is the same for fragrance. I have a deep red Frangipani
that does not have a strong scent at all. If you are after fragrance
then the traditional white with yellow centre is the best.

I was wondering if anyine had had the same experiance I had with non
flowering trees. I have three traditional white, one red, and one
pink / yellow all planted in the last few years. The red one (which
is the oldest) failed to flower this season, it flowered last. One of
the whites did the same - I was wondering if this had happened to
people before and if they had any reasons for it.....
