Heh. I think know the one. Frangipani.
Otherwise known as plumeria.
If I could grow it here, I would. They get about 2m tall but are not
frost hardy at all. Beautiful scent!
Well, I wondered about that Jane and I'm going to ask her. But she was here
yesterday and we have Plumeria in flower at present. She even picked a
flower so I wonder if it can be one and the same thing.
