As a kid I thought they were ugly as. <br /><br />But of course, in the growing season they take on a whole new shape and are dripping with the most colourful flowers. <br /><br />Yes, it seduces me for sure!

My husbands family had a tree in tne back yard but of course it wss winter and I didn't have the pleasure of seeing it in bloom. Such a beautiful flower. <br /><br />I haven't read the book " Botany of Desire" yet but it discusses the many ways that plants have evolved to survive. One way is through the seduction of humans. Frangipani would seduce me for certain!LindaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03624659670781181099noreply@blogger.com
