I lived in Hawai'i briefly many years ago, and i fell in love with plumeria, also called frangipani. When my parents arrived to visit, i made leis for them from the fragrant plumeria flowers.
Among my houseplants, i have plumeria, and it is blooming now. When a blossom falls off, i float it in a bowl of water until brown spots of aging appear. Then i compost it.
The tender, creamy white, fragrant flower that arouses tender feelings in me--that blossom ages and withers.
When i lived in Hawai'i, i was a tender young thing and in love. Now my hands have brown age spots.
