This is my pride and joy on my balcony. A Frangipani plant I have been growing for the last 7 years from a tiny cutting. It’s finally flowering for the first time ever! It has a dark red coloured flower. Normally the ones that are common have white flowers. I wanted to grow this one for the dark red flower.
This plant is also incredible because I am a plant killer. I don’t have green fingers. It’s managed to survive against the odds. Sometimes I leave them for months at a time when I go away and it still survived! 🙂

Is that what you call it in english? There was a tree in Africa my father called Frangipannier. had several in the garden. Had white identical flowers to yours with a rim of yellow, and a strong, wonderful perfume…
Thanks for the memory.

I had given up hope that it will ever flower, plus it’s in a tiny pot that it’s outgrown. Definitely symbolic! x

Tough little plant, to be left alone for that long and still hang on. I’m so happy that you are celebrating it’s flower with one of your wonderful drawings. 🙂
