It's very unusual. I've never seen one before.

Beautiful. I've got one in my garden, far too overgrown. Needs a good cut. I hope your cuttings all take well. :-) They are such a pleasant plant.

wow that is unusual, Im still waiting for my Frangipanis Singapore white to germinate, I have ten seeds which I planted in a pot two weeks ago, have them on a warm windowsil but nothings happened yet :-( was hoping at least one would take so I can bring it up in my south facing conservatory

thanks GT. I hope my cuttings root too. So far only the Gloxinia and begonias rooted...I'm trying to root the roses and impatiens as well..haha my windowsills look very messy right now..haha

Lynn, I hope your Frangipani seeds germinate soon :) I know how you feel..ten of my sunflower seeds didn't germinate at all.neither did my french Marigold .only the pansy germinated..so sad..the previous batch only one lonely sunflower seedling survived. And it looks sad and pathetic after the rain..yellow leaves and skinny..sigh!! It has been raining alot.
