    Plumeria IS Frangipani. Plumeria is the scientific name, and Frangipani the common one.

    Oh wow Lorax thank you so much...I have a lot of miniature frangiapani, none of the tree, mine bloom year round and the tree sort of dies off and looks pretty awfull when it is not in flower. Strange thing is I have gold plumeria in the jeweley stores I manage and never put it together until this blog!!!
