Plumeria

Plumeria

Plumeria can be seen across Thailand. There are two varieties, white and purple/pink. Both varieties have a wonderful sweet nectar smell which you either love or hate.


Description

Plumeria flowers are most fragrant at night in order to lure sphinx moths to pollinate them. The flowers yield no nectar, however, and simply trick their pollinators. The moths inadvertently pollinate them by transferring pollen from flower to flower in their fruitless search for nectar.
