Frangipani Facts
The frangipani flower is Mother Nature's symbol of perfection. The frangipani tree, its flowers and perfume, invoke deeply within us, sub-concious memories of paradise, peace, tranquility and perfection. The frangipani is therefore sacred and healing. This is the reason for its resurgence in popularity in these overtly busy and complex modern times.
Frangipani (or Plumeria as it sometimes called) is now a common naturalized plant in southern and southeastern Asia, and in local folk beliefs provide shelter to ghosts and demons. The scent of the Frangipani has been associated with a vampire in Malay folklore, the Pontianak. They are associated with temples in both Hindu and Buddhist cultures, though Hindus do not use the flowers in their temple offerings.
In several Pacific islands, such as Tahiti, Fiji, Hawaii, New Zealand, Tonga, and the Cook Islands Frangipani is used for making leis. In modern Polynesian culture, it can be worn by women to indicate their relationship status - over the right ear if seeking a relationship, and over the left if taken.
Frangipani is the most common name for Plumeria and is the botanically correct name.
The name frangipani is an English derivative of the French name Frangipanier. The common old English name was "nosegay". What a delight to the nose it is in hot weather when the multitude of fragrant blooms fill the air with its’ heady perfume.
