Frangipani! The popularity of these plants has soared since I became a gardener 10 years or so ago. They have always been a popular plant for amenity horticulture, however about 7 or so years ago, alot of merchandise begin to come out with frangipani flowers on it (hair clips, mirrors, ornaments, etc) and this pretty much caused a popularity explosion. Im personally more a fan of the white frangi, then the pink. Different colours are more widely available now (from almost red, to orange red, orange yellows, pinks and whites). I think I prefer white because white is usually the least popular colour. Which is a shame, as white typically has the strongest of the subtle perfume that frangis emit. Frangis are really easy to grow from cuttings as well, which, I guess is why they are a popular tree to grow. Simply cut off a branch, leave it for at least 24 hours so the cut has time to seal, then plant. Dont let it get soaking wet, this will cause it to rot. Keep it moist and after about a month or so it will send out roots and Ba Na! you have a tree.
