 This frangipani was seemingly just a dead branch when I picked up on a building site. It was about a foot long. I brought it home and stuck it in a pot, left it the full sun, watered it occasionally and presto!! It's been in the pot for about two years now. This is the first time it's flowered.

Not sure how I missed this earlier. It feels so soft. Great depth of field and lovely colour.

Very unique flower. I like the bright yellow against the varied tones of green.

What a wonderful flowers. I like the shape and the yellow center going to the white borders outside. Hope it's getting spring here soon.

That's amazing that you brought it back from near death. Nice, clean picture, and white/yellow really stands out well against the background. For some reason this flower looks really fragrant.

How cool is that! You must have a green thumb - aren't you a Taurus? That's a Taurus thing. Lovely photo - great detail. I don't know if they have a scent, but from your photo I imagine they do.
