Exotic Flowers
by Sandra
These are the fragrant Frangipani
or Plumeria which Hawaiian girls use
to make the traditional flower leis.
There is no pollen and therefore
no allergies!
Orchids are also mixed in to
make flower leis, as well.
In Indonesia, if one is buried
beneath this tropical tree, it is said
that one is blessed because the gods
bedeck one's grave with fresh
flowers daily!
Frangipani was the flower which
gave Frangipanier the idea of
extracting fragrant oil from
the blossoms to create perfumes!
Most varieties have unique
floral scents ranging from
bubblegum to light citrus.
