The Frangipani was in the old days considered taboo in gardens.It was a plant found only in Muslim cemeteries because theflowers have a very subtle fragrance.So the connection was if the flower is fragrant,spirits head for it!But not now...the belief that spirits love this plant.Why,they are all over gardens in Indonesia!Because the rage was gardens fashioned after Balinese ones,almost eveyone has a pot of this plant.Mine was a cutting from the neighbour.From a little sapling it has grown to a height of 4 feet and more.All of ME
