Plumeria, also known as frangipani, is a genus of flowering plants in the family Apocynaceae. Native to tropical and subtropical regions of Central America, South America, and the Caribbean, plumeria is known for its vibrant and fragrant flowers. These flowers are often used in making leis in Hawaiian culture and are also popular as ornamental plants in gardens and landscapes worldwide.

Plumeria flowers come in various colors, including shades of white, yellow, pink, and red. The flowers are typically five-petaled and have a distinct fragrance, especially noticeable in the evenings.

Plumeria plants are deciduous and lose their leaves during the dry season in their native habitats. They thrive in warm climates with plenty of sunlight and well-draining soil. Plumeria can be propagated from cuttings and are relatively low-maintenance plants, making them popular choices for gardeners in tropical and subtropical regions.
