Plumeria, often called Frangipani, is one of the most beloved tropical flowers, celebrated for its heavenly fragrance and graceful beauty. With its delicate petals and soothing scent, the Plumeria flower captures the heart of anyone who encounters it, earning a place in gardens, leis, and cultural rituals across the globe.Native to Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean, Plumeria belongs to the Apocynaceae family. It thrives in warm, tropical climates and has spread widely to South and Southeast Asia, where it is often associated with temples, hospitality, and spirituality.

Plumeria trees are small, deciduous, and hardy, producing clusters of waxy flowers that bloom in shades of white, yellow, pink, red, and even multi-tones. The flowers typically have five rounded petals, arranged in a pinwheel fashion, exuding a sweet, exotic fragrance especially strong at night to attract pollinators like moths.
