Frangipanis have become immensely popular in the last 10 years or so. I dont think I can recall as a kid seeing so many frangipani ornaments or hair clips. They are very popular as wedding boquets, however they are a bugger of a thing to wire up as they are very delicate flowers and bruise easily. The white frangipani flowers have a lovely delicate perfume to them, which is rare among cut flowers so I can see why they would be popular as a bouquet. The flowers come in shades of white, pink, yellow and any mix of the three. They are notoriously hardy plants and are easy to grow from cuttings. Simply cut off a branch, leave it to dry for at least a day, then plant and water as normal. The reason you have to wait is so that the wound heals over. If you plant a limb while the cut is still dripping white sap then you increase the risk of the stem rotting and not forming roots.
