And oh yes! I remember, we used to make rings of its flowers, in our childhood. It's difficult to express without a video. I'll have to get a flower first!

Wild Plumeria Tree [Wild Frangipani Tree]
I guess, many of you have seen the flowers of this tree. They are just gorgeous. For those who haven't, one day, I will take a nice close-up of its flowers to show to you all. Unfortunately, while taking this picture, neither did I have a long telephoto lens, nor was it possible for me to get close enough to any flower.

I have never seen one wild! These are grown everywhere in Northern Australia!
ReplyDeleteit's a bit strange that only the tips bud into flowers and leaves?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like such an old tree! And still producing flowers? Such a valuable tree.
ReplyDelete@ Joy: Yes, these are grown here too. But this one was in the wild! :)
ReplyDelete@ Loshini: Now why didn't I note that!? :)
@ Thérèse: It really is :)
I have never in my life seen such a tree!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing it with us!
I look forward to closeups of the flowers and the rings you used to make from them as a child!
Love & Light~
OM girl
@ Becky: I'm so glad you liked it. I'll try my best to get the flower close-up soon :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful tree!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteI am anxious to see a close-up of a flower. This is a pretty tree and are the blossoms fragrant?
ReplyDelete@ Joo: Glad you liked it! :)
ReplyDelete@ Amin: I'm glad you liked it :)
@ Cheryl: I'll try my best to get it at the earliest. I don't remember it having any fragrance! Let me smell again :)
This tree grows all over Hawaii and is a popular, though short lived, lei flower. I've always loved the sweet smell and it, along with the extremely fragrant tuberose ( which I've seen in Little India in Singapore and think you must also have in India )are my two favorite flowers for leis.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot Bhavesh..
ReplyDeleteHi Bavesh !
ReplyDeleteThis tree seems very old. I like this photo.
@ RNSANE: Quite a lot of new information from you Carmen! Thanks :)
ReplyDelete@ Krisno: I'm happy that you liked it :)
@ Claude: I'm happy that you liked it :)
It's a beautiful tree - it almost looks at odds with the desert-like surroundings!
ReplyDelete@ Clytie: My belief is that the desert like place in the background was a lush forest a few decades back!
ReplyDeleteThe tree is fascinating - gnarly and tangled and full of character.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2021/02/more-from-last-weeks-peek-at-cedar-creek.html
So true Sue! 😊
