| My younger brother and his wife gave me a frangipani for my birthday this year. Ross has long been a devotee of this variety of the plumeria family, and everytime he sees a broken stem - which is often - he takes it home and strikes it. In the last years of her life, when our grandmother lived in North Bondi, she had a magnificent frangipani tree in her yard, and a glorious hedge of hydrangea down her side path. Now, I have both in my own garden. |
