Rainbow Plumeria (Plumeria sp.)
Location: Kohala Coast, Big Island, Hawaii
We have several varieties of Plumeria trees in our garden. The blossoms they bear are very fragrant, and grow on the trees in clusters that look like little bouquets. They are favorites for lei-making in Hawaii. Most Plumeria varieties are deciduous, and at this time of year their branches are just beginning to show leaf buds. In Asia the Plumeria is known as frangipani.

Hi Jingui-
Welcome back. Yes, I know what kind of plumeria tree you must mean. Here it is called the Singapore Plumeria -- white flowers with a small yellow center, and smells the best of all the plumeria varieties. Also, the Singapore plumeria is the only one that does not drop its leaves -- it's "evergreen."

They are a beautiful color - like a sunburst!
Hi Kathy - You and I are on the same wavelength. I've often thought that "sunrise" would have been a good name for this variety of Plumeria.
