#Photography - Plumeria : Fragrance of Ghost Stories.
1.jpg

I Saw this flowers near our Village temple and I shot some pictures using my Nikon Coolpix B500. I liked the fragrance of this flower.

I remember my grandmother told me, in my childhood, ghosts are staying in this plant. And village people have lots of ghost stories connected with this plant. All are myths only, but in childhood, we won't travel alone near to this tree, because those ghosts stories will come to memory.

Also in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia, the plumeria is often associated with ghosts and cemeteries. Balinese Hindus use the flowers in their temple offerings. Plumeria's fragrance is associated with the evil spirit of a dead mother in Malaysian-Indonesian folklores.

As per Wiki Pedia Plumeria is a genus of flowering plants in the Dogbane family, Apocynaceae. And plumeria flowers are most fragrant at night in order to lure sphinx moths to pollinate them. These flowers yield no nectar.
Plumeria species may be propagated easily by cutting leafless stem tips in spring.
