Description

Plumeria obtusa Singapore White
Fragrant, creamy white flowers with a yellow center the Singapore white Plumeria is one of the loveliest of plumeria flowers. They are without a doubt the most fragrant of all plumeria. The gorgeous fragrance is almost intoxicating filling the air with the sweet essence of flowers especially after a gentle rain.

In Persian, the name is "yas" or "yasmin". In India, the name is "champa" or "chafa", in Telugu "Deva ganneru" (divine nerium), in Manipuri "Khagi Leihao" .

In Hawai'i, the name is "melia", although common usage is still plumeria.

In Sri Lanka, it is referred to as araliya and (in English) as the Temple Tree. In Cantonese, it is known as 'gaai daan fa' or the 'egg yolk flower' tree. The name 'Leelawadee' (originating from Thai) is found occasionally. In Indonesia, where the flower has been commonly associated with Balinese culture, it is known as "Kamboja". In French Polynesia it is called a Tiare tree. And in Australia they are called Frangipani . . .

With a lovely perfume they are quite simply the fragrance of Hawai'i
