It wouldn't be summer in the coastal areas of Australia without the scent of frangipani.
 

Be at War with your Vices, at Peace with your Neighbours, and let every New-Year find you a better Man.

  3. I have heard of frangipani, but did not know it was a beautiful flower. (Ashamed to admit I thought it was something to do with marzipan.) It would be great if smells could come through the computer wires.

  4. The flower does look like it's made of spun sugar, so in that way it must be related to marzipan. Thanks for educating those of us in the Northern Hemisphere. Here's Mine
