Description
Plumeria, common name Frangipani, is a genus of flowering plants in the dogbane family and it's also related to the Oleander, Nerium oleander.
Plumeria flowers are most fragrant at night in order to lure sphinx moths to pollinate them. The flowers have no nectar, however, and simply dupe their pollinators. The moths inadvertently pollinate them by transferring pollen from flower to flower in their fruitless search for nectar.
There are more than 300 named varieties of Plumeria.
