Plumeria obtusa<\/i> is a species of the genus Plumeria<\/span><\/a> (Apocynaceae<\/span><\/a>), native to Central America,[2]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> but widely cultivated for its ornamental and fragrant flowers around the world, where suitably warm climate exists.[3]<\/span><\/a><\/sup>
\n<\/span>The large shrub grows from 5-10m tall (c.12\u201325\u00a0ft)<\/span>[3]<\/span><\/a><\/sup>[4]<\/span><\/a>
\n<\/sup>P. obtusa<\/span><\/i> is native to the <\/span>Greater Antilles<\/span><\/a>, northern <\/span>Central America<\/span><\/a> and southern <\/span>Mexico<\/span><\/a>.[2]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> Cultivation is common in warmer parts of the world, including <\/span>Southeast Asia<\/span><\/a>
\nThis plant is commonly used as an ornamental, grown for its flowers. In Cambodia the flowers are used to make necklaces and in offerings to the deities.<\/span>[3]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> In traditional medicine used in that country, a decoction of the bark is given in varying doses as a purgative or as a remedy against oedemas.

plumeria obtusa<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

One query are there many varieties of this same flower because the flowers petals in the two posts that I posted today look different<\/p>\n

\n

… its just not the flower petal… if you look closely… the leaves often are different …there is a
\nvariablility inherent \u00a0in the plumerias… keep looking… \u00a0we have several of these along my daily walk… \u00a0 all have a just a tad bit different leaves or petals or even flower scent… \u00a0that ‘s what make the walk so interesting… it just like the case of many of the sarcomas…. where there is marked variability in the cells… if you keep looking at soft tissue tumors… yet they are all sarcomas… and here they are\u00a0all plumeria obtusa<\/i>…
\nit boils down to experience… curiosity and willingness to put it together ( you have these last qualifications in abundance)
\n<\/span>your flower in thread “”For Id 14102011MR1\u2019\u2019 is older… opened the day before… if you smell such a flower.. almost no scent… or very faint…. do not inhale too deeply… many small pollinators hide in the nectar tube…ha ha<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

… you almost took me from the floral world back to my Histopath section and formalin !!! Thank God you drove back to the world of perfumed flowers and pollen. Thank you it was interesting reading<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

I love the fragrance of this flower. Here is mine.<\/p>\n

\n

here is one more photo of the flower, but from a different plant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Place : Jaipur, Rajasthan
\nDate \u00a0: \u00a0November 2010<\/span>
\nHabitat : Cultivated<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

Plumeria obtusa<\/i> for sure<\/p>\n

\n

This is the flower I knew as Phandhara<\/b> (White)\u00a0Chapha<\/b>. I remember making finger rings from this flower in my childhood.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Oh thanks, good to know flowers also smiles [?][?]<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

Yes flowers smile, laugh, cry… even get mad… didn’t you know? \u00a0as do the leaves? They even enjoy music and dance… I am not joking…. its serious business… scientific business that is… lot has been researched and written about…. And now I suspect they do not like cell-phone towers towering just above them… <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

…., thanks for this valuable information. \u00a0I know flowers laugh when they are happy, and cry when they are sad, but due to our own pre-occupation we fail to notice it. \u00a0Just once get fully identified with it and sit with <\/span>them for some time and you will notice it.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
Yes…\u00a0\u00a0…, you are right.. most of us came to botany because of our love for greenery or for the love of flowers… <\/span><\/div>\n
my current balcony is also full of flowers… all kinds.. warm weather tropicals , temperate zone and some cold weather \u00a0ones… \u00a0mostly very prolific … <\/span><\/div>\n
But the plants do not like to flower when people fight… I have \u00a0neighbors who periodically \u00a0fight a lot among themselves, and their vibrations \u00a0must be reaching my plants, they shut down, stop producing flowers, \u00a0when the crescendo of their fights is at the height, my plants stop blooming… \u00a0 when they go on vacation (long ones) of 3 -4 months like visiting their sons in us or uk… my plants bloom like crazy… and look very happy…and peaceful… ( not based on seasons… they go sometimes in winter, sometimes in summer , so my plants are responding to absence of negative vibrations regardless of season.. \u00a0since they do not announce their departures, we learn of their absence by the profuse blooming … \u00a0 as if the plants are dancing in joy… \u00a0then we do our sherlock homes and confirm that they are gone taking their their vibrations) <\/span><\/div>\n
I have learnt over the years to overcome the neighbors fights ( to a degree, not fully yet) by meditating near the plants, getting into their xylem and travelling around inside coaxing… or just floating, and playing devotional
\nsongs cds… \u00a0near the balcony… had to set up a separate music system with small speakers esp for the flowering plants.. <\/span><\/div>\n
My mom used to be able to talk to trees and they would visibly respond… I have seen it with my own eyes and even done some super8 movies… which at this point I dont own.. \u00a0otherwise it would be a great small demo… I try
\nto talk the way my Mom did , \u00a0 I am not there yet… but communicating with plants and asking them what they like is a very good way to nurture them… <\/span><\/div>\n
Mysteries of life…. older I get more mysteries present themselves… and dogmas fall away…. <\/span>…., see what you started… \u00a0keep doing it… makes me remember…<\/span><\/div>\n

We should see the leaves before finally deciding the cultivar.\u00a0 Even both the cultivars have obtuse leaves but other character full side view of flowering stem and leaf and leaf stem play an important role in any plant.<\/p>\n

\n

Yes Plumeria obtusa<\/i>, very common in Delhi.<\/p>\n

\n

this is plumeria alba<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n

Pagoda tree<\/b> is Styphnolobium japonicum<\/i><\/span> and I feel this is not the tree!
\nAs … said it Plumeria alba<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

I\u00a0also agree with … It is indeed Plumera alba<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

Looks like Plumeria rubra<\/i> Linn. (Pagoda tree<\/b> ) to me. According to Trees of Mumbai book the crooked trunk with blunt and swollen \u00a0branches matches with the pics. The flowers are upright clustered from the tip of the branches.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Plumeria<\/i> -Frangipani is also known temple tree or Pagoda tree<\/b> as in South East Asia they are planted around Pagodas. But I am not sure if all varieties of Plumeria<\/i> are known as Pagoda tree or some particular one.<\/p>\n

\n

My earlier input was based on the book ‘Trees of Mumbai’ which has mentioned\u00a0 the description of the flowers as “The funnel shaped flower is large, reddish white or fully waxy white with a golden centre.”
\n<\/span>In Trees in Delhi there is lot of\u00a0 info. on Plumeria<\/i> species . It is mentioned that there are 2 species of Plumeria<\/i> in Delhi – Plumeria rubra<\/i> there are four forms and within Plumeria obtusa<\/i> there are two forms. Please refer to Pg 134 .<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I think this could be Plumeria obtusa<\/i>!! Leaf apex seems to be obtuse…..<\/p>\n

\n

Plumeria obtusa<\/i> from my side too.<\/p>\n
