I love frangipanis & have many on my property. They grow really easily from cuttings & so are pretty cheap to obtain.

The white ones with a bit of yellow seem to have the strongest sweet smell.

My favourite is a red variety but it has very little smell.

To me they just scream the topics as they don't tollerate frosts at all. In winter they go completely dormant & just look life weird sticks in the ground.

Interesting. I get some pretty cold temps at home. It get below freezing a few times a year. Other than that it's pretty hot and humid where I live. Are you saying they go dormant and come back or will they die off completely?

They go dormant even in the tropics as it gets cold.

Unless you have them in a green house you won't be able to grow them. My dad loves them & he has similar temperatures. He just can't get them to survive.

Here's the last sad little red/pink flower against some of my white ones. The red one is still in a pot as it didn't do so well in the ground & I saved it by taking a cutting.

The white ones are gorgeous

Yeah but very common around here.

I have this debilitating condition that values scarcity.

I seek out the most scarcest of commodities & accumulate them. I should get some help.

Have you seen the film adaptation? It's been years since I watched it, but I recall there was a guy who was hunting rare orchids and using them as drugs... I think.

It was a strange film.

No not seen it 🤣

I have so many exotic & hard to find plants though.
