Did you know?
Frangipani, also known as plumeria, is a fragrant tropical flower native to Central America and the Caribbean, now beloved worldwide for its intoxicating perfume and cultural significance. The flowers bloom in clusters and come in shades ranging from pure white to deep pink, coral, and yellow—making them a favorite subject for artists and gardeners alike. In Hawaiian and Pacific island traditions, frangipani holds deep spiritual meaning and is woven into leis for ceremonies and celebrations. Each bloom typically has five petals arranged in a characteristic pinwheel or spiral formation, and the flowers are often featured in spa products, perfumery, and tropical-themed art.
