This is a group of yellow frangipani flowers. Another name of this flower is Plumeria which has several types of flower colors, white, yellow, pink, dark pink, and red.
For herbal users for healing, beautiful and exotic frangipani trees have enough benefits to be gained from its stems, sap, and flowers.
Without many people knowing or remembering, historically this tree with its beautiful flowers has even been a victim of religious politics. There is a long period in which this flower is very popular and important for use in various ceremonies and religious rituals of a particular religion. To change the image and erase the ritual habits, a great cleric from another religion who has succeeded in presenting his religion then ordered that this tree is planted only in the cemetery so that the flower then has the image as a frightening death interest.

I was told that if you smell frangipani when there isn’t a tree of it around, it might means some “unseen humans” are here …. *runs*
I guess it was wrongly translated from a Chinese saying of “frangipani has ghost” (Direct translation) which should actually means “frangipani is very fragrance”. BUT it’s my GUESS, may not be true.
That words also apply in my country. I can accept both interpretations for both can apply to different people. Hehe…
I am not a fan of the color yellow, unless it is in a flower. This capture is a delight.
I am on your side, LaJenna!
Oh, I remember this! Lovely plant, very valuable. America has a similar thing going with cannabis. Very political, for some, quite spiritual. Others it scares the human juice out of. How pathetic, plants are good people!
Standing people are kind people but if even the same flesh and blood creature who can cry out we can be so cruel let alone to those who we think just keep silence.
None, are silent. Each has a song. “Thinking” prevents most from hearing it.
Exactly! “Thinking” always prevents us to hear it. Cannabis has also got the same treatment in my country.
I know the flower and its wonderful scent. Great photograph there Albert. What I didn’t know is what you wrote about. Interesting indeed. Such odd….superstitions I guess you could say right?
The aroma is typical. What I have written has indeed happened in my country, though not in history. This is a form of negative campaign action to ensure confidence change.
Very nice shot of frangipani. Such pretty flowers
Thank you, TZ. I love this exotic tree, as well as the beautiful flowers.
Thank you for sharing these nice images of flowers on this site.
Thank you for your appreciation on this images, Dee
You are welcome Albert.
Ironic, flowers are perhaps one of the best expressions of divine life force, something you would not expect confined or chained by dogma…
Ironic indeed, but we can always guess that humans always like to imprison other humans to put them in the same prison, in any way, including imprisoning the flowers.
You live in the blessed part of the planet. Smells and colors, all bold and expressive.
Thank you very much, Varda. But how do you know I live in the blessed part of the planet?
One way or another, we’re all victims of religious politics…
This is the viewpoint I’m waiting for!
Glad to be able to help you out
Glad to be able to hear people sing out their favorite song
we’re always ready to lend a helping hand
You are so right, my brother-in-law.
and our wives are always ready to lend a helping… fin?
Yeah! They are great supporters for us, and among us.
Behind every great man is a fish. No wait, how does it go?
At least the fish is female, right.
we’ve strayed so far from the original, who can say what is meaningful anymore?
This flower has an interesting story. It looks like waxy, with these thick fleshy colors. And it’s in yellow one of my favorite colors.
I always remember that your favorite color is yellow, so this is my special flower for you, Elenka. Hehehe…
Wonderful photo, very pretty flower!
Thank you, Courtney. Glad you like it
Stunning against the green, makes a beautiful contrast.
I always try to make the best to be a decent friend of the great photographers in Virily like you, Kim, and Elenka.
You are kind, I wish I was a great photographer, I do my best and I enjoy it.
That means we have the same wish! Hehehe…
Beautiful photo and a very interesting story! It’s a pity what religion and politics can lead to.
Thank you very much, Ellie. That’s how humans do things for an interest.
beautiful picture of yellow plumeria
Yes, it is, Branka. Thank you…
