Chuck Plumier

Here is another member of the plumeria family, a yellow flowered frangipani. Not to be confused with the pastries (both sweet and savory) that bear the same name. I was walking the dog and at one particular spot on the block,  the scent of brugmansia and the shy, but beautiful, scent of frangipani flowers went to my head like honeyed truffles (if there were such a thing).

Named for French botanist Charles Plumier who introduced this beauty into Europe in the 17th Century. Soon after used as a base for perfume. [all photos: me on my Samsung cell phone]
