PLUMERIA Flowers

•Plumeria flowers are most fragrant at night to lure sphinx moths to pollinate them.

The flowers yield no nectar, though, and simply

trick their pollinators. The moths inadvertently pollinate them by transferring pollen from flower to flower in their fruitless search for nectar

Insects or human pollination can help create new varieties of plumeria.

Plumeria trees from cross-pollinated seeds may show characteristics of the mother tree or their flowers might just have a totally new look.

•Plumeria plants (Plumeria sp), which are also known as Lei flowers and Frangipani, are actually small trees that are native to tropical regions.

• The flowers of these beautiful plants are used in making traditional Hawaiian leis.

•They are highly fragrant and bloom freely from spring throughout fall in multiple colors like white, yellow, pink, and red. These flowers stand out nicely amid the large leaved foliage, which may be evergreen or deciduous, depending on the type.

•Plumeria rubra is a deciduous plant species belonging to the genus Plumeria.

•Originally native to Mexico, Central America, Colombia and Venezuela, it has been widely cultivated in subtropical and tropical climates worldwide and is a popular garden and park plant, as well as being used in temples and cemeteries.
