Description
Plumerias in Hawaii (also known as frangipani), although introduced, are really such a blessing to the island chain. One of the best features about this plant, other than the obvious (that wonderfully sweet aroma that emanates from the flowers pores), is the fact that Hawai`i’s tropical climate is perfect for cultivating such noble kind of flora such as the frangipani. Hawai`i is littered with clusters of this magnificent plant. It’s beauty radiates from the southern most Big Island all the way to the northern island of Kaua`i. You know instantly you’re in flower heaven when you stumble upon an orchard of plumerias. In Hawaii and modern Polynesian culture, the frangipani can be worn by women to indicate their relationship status – over the right ear if seeking a relationship, and over the left if taken
