The white frangipani (Plumeria alba) is a deciduous plumeria tree that is native to tropical areas. (Plumeria plants (Plumeria sp), which are also known as Lei flowers and Frangipani, are actually small trees that are native to tropical regions (zone 10 and 11) . It is one of the plants used for leis in Hawaii. It is popular here in Central Florida (zone 9B); we are semi-tropical with tropical weather most of the time.
Just a fast note to all on my recovery after surgery. I definitely see and feel a difference in this second week. My pain is less and I am sleeping better. I see my surgeon and my primary physician next week as post-op visits. I am saying a prayer that I feel more like me. Thanks for all the kind thoughts and prayers. It means a lot to me.
Each spring my frangipani tree goes from dormant looking like a couple of sticks in the ground to a tropical tree with leaves and flowers. They are one of the lei flowers used in Hawaii. The first week of April the first blooms opened and the limbs were covered with buds..
I love this time of year when plants come back to life and flowers bloom.

Beautiful blooms. So glad to hear your recovery is going well!
Those are beautiful!! I love fall and winter but you can’t beat spring when everything starts blooming.
Carol – it has obviously been a while since I visited! So sorry to hear about your surgery and the long road ahead …. perhaps the beauty that surrounds you can provide a bit of a welcome distraction. I am typing this from Tampa, where we are waiting for a plane to take us to Grand Cayman. I am looking forward to the green and growing things we will see, a welcome break from our muddy Spring in Montana!
thanks – enjoy Grand Cayman
Great shots.
Pretty flowers
Some very beautiful blossoms. I’m glad to hear your recovery is going well.
Oh gosh Carol < I get behind on my blog reading and find out all at one time that you've had surgery and are recovering . I am sorry I wasn't here to wish you well along with all your many other bloggy friends. The frangiapani flowers are beautiful — your pictures are so good I feel like I can almost get the wonderful scent of these beauties.
I hope you continue to progress in your recovery. Beautiful blooms – I am not sure I have ever seen these in bloom. Alana ramblinwitham
Hope you mend well and fast. I grew up with frangipani, but only came to appreciate them later in life.
Worth a Thousand Words

The frangapani fall on my dog walk and I always bring one home to keep in a bud vase in the kitchen for the smell. Lovely. One of my faves. Glad you are recovering and sleep helps too so that’s great news. #WWOAT
