Native Frangipani, flowering in our garden now, Queensland.

Commonly known as the native Frangipani, although not related to the exotic form, this tree bears highly fragrant flower clusters that start out cream and turn to yellow. It is a rainforest tree native to Queensland and New South Wales and its large, glossy leaves give it a tropical look. Growing to 8 metres in ideal conditions, it is capable of providing a nice canopy and the flowers are great for attracting birds and native bees..

Looks perfect to me! =D

Sometimes one does not know what the perfect should look like. And then all variations look just as good =)

Then I searched for the images of that plant, and now I get it ;-)

Beautiful they are in your shot, nevertheless.

Thanks Sami. This is the way they look most of the time. Very different to normal 'Frangipani'

Gillian, at first I was going to get a shot of an "imperfect" flower but the descriptions for "perfect" and "imperfect" flowers got confusing. ( I gave up) . Your Frangipani blossoms are lovely. I remember the scent of them from our time in the Virgin Islands ... very intense. :)
