Plumeria Rubra (Plumeria rubra (Atabaiba Rosada))

Another photo from Sundays visit to Oxfords botanic gardens.
I couldn't decide on the better photo (they both have major faults), so I've put both up.

I must admit that I didn't notice a fragrance, as it is generally pretty heady in the hot houses at the botanic gardens!
They are really stunning plants in the flesh though, and it's pretty tempting to have a go at one.

Meanie:

Another great photo!

Very surprised you didn't smell the fragrance. Celadine Plumeria has a very fragrant sweet and lemon scent. Mine are all in bloom now and have a wonderful strong fragrance.

Thank you again Delonix.
This was a wee way up, and there are so many other blooms in this passageway, that it would be a job to work out what you can smell!

Meanie:

I'm sure it would be difficult to differentiate the fragrances with so many flowers in a confined area.
