So it has many positive outcomes.<br /><br />Happy Days<br /><br />But it is nice that you appreciate my effort.Delwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813713107604750354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155836879539082676.post-59015320059763223522009-05-27T11:04:48.390+10:002009-05-27T11:04:48.390+10:00Lola- I have just noticed I have given your name a...Lola- I have just noticed I have given your name an Hawaiian twist - must have been the influence of the plumeria!Delwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813713107604750354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155836879539082676.post-49064926010341315272009-05-27T11:03:37.813+10:002009-05-27T11:03:37.813+10:00Meri

I have written about them in the past - before we became friends- here we call them frangipani and they are mostly deciduous except for a native version we have. In Hawaii they are evergreen plumeria with a waxier looking leaf.<br />Both- are one of my favourit flowers - I decided that frangipani would be the floral emblem for my wedding anniversary last Feb (I'm not fussed with jewellery, but flowers are precious gems to me)<br /><br />Happy DaysDelwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813713107604750354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155836879539082676.post-43638560485011161362009-05-27T10:40:28.088+10:002009-05-27T10:40:28.088+10:00Steven,

Upon visiting Hawaii at age 12, I had a fragrance epiphany. I smelled a flower that I could never again find anywhere. Eons later, in South Africa, upon smelling a flower, something in the back of my olfactory plant clicked, but I couldn't quite place why. FRANGIPANI=PLUMERIA, PLUMERIA=FRANGIPANI. Yay!!<br /><br />Thank you for taking me on this walk down the maze-like recesses of memory lane! CiaoEleonora Baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06746184664869196394noreply@blogger.com
