PRETTY BLOOM IN FRONT YARD

I love this time of year because my plant always blooms and it is so pretty. It is called a plumeria and "Frangipani" .
It is a small genus of 7-8
species native to tropical and subtropical
Americas.[2] The genus
consists of mainly deciduous shrubs and trees. P. rubra (Common Frangipani, Red
Frangipani, Champa), native to
Mexico, Central America, Colombia, and Venezuela,[2] produces
flowers ranging from yellow to pink . From Mexico and Central America, Plumeria
has spread to all tropical areas of the world.[

production of
leis.[3]
(All of this info comes from Wickipedia) Of course, I cherish mine because I hauled it into the garage every time we had a cold front (which was every other day last winter) and then buried it back in the ground. This is a perfect example of hard work paying off.
