Be Yourself

 this quote is always crossing my mind , know it is in my secret book ;)

To be yourself in a world that is constantly
trying to make you something else
is the greatest accomplishment.

Plumeria (frangipani)

Nothing evokes that tropical feeling quite like the plumeria.their sweet scent and sheer beauty make them universally loved

Few information, I'm sure there is a lot more our in the www ;)

- Frangipanis are good hosts for dendrobium orchids.

- The frangipani is the national tree of Laos, where it is called dok jampa. It is regarded as a sacred tree in Laos and every Buddhist temple in that country has them planted in their courtyards. Many of the trees are hundreds of years old and are spectacular, huge, gnarled giants.

- The frangipani is the flower of the city of Palermo in Sicily, Italy.

- The frangipani is the national flower of Nicaragua and it features on some of     their bank notes.

- According to Vietnamese myth, ghosts live in trees with white and fragrant flowers including the frangipani.

- In Vietnam and China the colour white is associated with death and funerals.

- In Hindu culture, the flower means loyalty. 

- Hindu women put a flower in their hair on their wedding days to show their loyalty   to their husbands.
