This image was taken in early morning natural light with a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi © 2009 Fine Art Photography by Sharon Mau The beautiful Plumeria comes in a wide variety of delightful colours and bloom virtually year round. Plumeria (Frangipani) also known as the Lei flower, is native to warm tropical areas of the Pacific Islands, Caribbean, South America and Mexico. Plumerias may grow to be large shrubs or even small trees in the Hawaiian Islands and in mild areas of the U.S on the mainland. In tropical regions, Plumeria may reach a height of 30’ to 40’ and half as wide. They have widely spaced thick succulent branches, round or pointed, long leather, fleshy leaves in clusters near the branch tips. Plumeria are true tropical flowering trees, also known as Frangipani or the Temple Tree, and the fragrant flowers are often used to make Hawaiian leis. They may be grown in containers, in the ground, or in containers sunk in the ground. During the months of active growth, ample sun, water and food are essential. Healthy plumeria will bloom regularly and abundantly when they receive at least 6 to 8 hours of full sun per day. They are heavy feeders and will bloom and grow vigorously with enough of the proper foods. Plumeria love lots of water, but cannot tolerate wet feet, so they must be planted in fast draining soil or in beds with adequate drainage. The fragrance is wonderful with hints of jasmine. This lovely beauty is blooming in our garden.

Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Plumeria, common name Frangipani; syn. Himatanthus Willd. ex Roem. & Schult.) is a small genus of 7-8 species native to tropical and subtropical Americas. The genus consists of mainly deciduous shrubs and trees. It produces flowers ranging from yellow to pink depending on form or cultivar. From Mexico and Central America, Plumeria has spread to all tropical areas of the world, especially Hawai`i, where it grows so abundantly that many people think that it is indigenous here. The genus, originally spelled Plumiera, is named in honour of the seventeenth-century French botanist Charles Plumier, who traveled to the New World documenting many plant and animal species. The common name “Frangipani” comes from an Italian noble family, a sixteenth-century marquess of which invented a plumeria-scented perfume. In Mexico, the Nahuatl (Aztec language) name for this plant is “cacalloxochitl” which means “crow flower.” It was used for many medicinal purposes such as salves and ointments. Depending on location, many other common names exist: “Kembang Kamboja” in Indonesia, “Temple Tree” or “Champa” in India, “Kalachuchi” in the Philippines, “Araliya” or “Pansal Mal” in Sri Lanka, “Champa” in Laos, “Lantom” or “Leelaawadee” in Thai. Many English speakers also simply use the generic name “plumeria”. In several Pacific islands, such as Tahiti, Fiji, Hawai`i, Tonga and the Cook Islands Plumeria is used for making leis. In modern Polynesian culture, it can be worn by women to indicate their relationship status – over the right ear if seeking a relationship, and over the left if taken. P. alba is the national flower of Nicaragua and Laos, where it is known under the local name “Sacuanjoche” (Nicaragua) and “Champa” (Laos).

Seagreen Blue Jade Vine / It is also called: / Green Jade Vine / It is a lovely aquamarine colour. / Strongylodon macrobotrys Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved The flowers of the exotic Jade Vine have a beautiful seagreen/turquoise colour that is so amazing it is almost beyond description. This colour is extremely rare in the plant world. However, they also appear in a brilliant orange-red variety. They are considered a vanishing treasure in the Philippine rainforest but are widely cultivated in many other tropical areas of the world. The bloom is a pendant, with clustered birds beak-like inflorescence up to 4 1/2 ft. long and puts on a spectacular show when in bloom. Often used in Lei making, they may also be grown indoors. The hue is probably the rarest in the world of flowers. A vigorous grower once established, it can reach 30-40 ft tall, but is perfect for an arbor or a pergola where the blooming clusters can cascade and hang down. Specimen vine. Blooming season: winter-spring. / Grows best in Zones 10-11. / Young leaves had very dark, almost black color, then the leaf turns pale green with dark veins which looks like chlorosis, but it is not. As the leaf matures, it turns deep green. This beautiful and exotic vine is a tropical rainforest species originally from the Philippines, and has aquamarine coloured flowers, sharing that feature with only two other plants in the world. It is an evergreen vine with thick, woody stems that can reach lengths of 25 metres in good conditions. Jade vine is a tropical liana that does not tolerate frost. / This beauty grows near the Tedeschi Vineyards upcountry on Maui. Maintain winter temperatures at 60ºF (15.6ºC) or above. / It grows best and is happiest when it’s roots are in the shade and it’s foliage top is in the sun. Some say it takes three to nine years of growing from seedling to full grown vine before they bloom. Flowering normally takes place from Spring to early Summer but this is not always the case. Especially here on Maui where we experience warm tropical climate year round. Flowering can be irregular. Flowers are blue/green and pea shaped, each flower being 7 – 13 cm long and on large hanging clusters up to 1.5 metres in length. It is often grown on a pergola which allows dozens of pendulous blooms to appear as if they are cascading from the top. They are so exotic and so surreal it is difficult to believe they are real. Pollination is thought to be by birds and bats but seed growth is not good. In botanical propagation, cuttings are successful but very challenging. Reproduction and Conservation of Jade Vine (Strongylodon macrobotrys A. Gray), a Threatened Species The Jade Vine is native to the Phillipines where it grows in the rainforest. The inedible fruit is about 5 cm long and contain about 5 oblong seeds [relatively large-sized seed] (2)Legume large, 3-10 seeded. The leaves and foliage are an irritant, and causes an itching sensationa, so it is recommended that you wear gloves when pruning the vines. The jade vine, Strongylodon macrobotrys, is a rare, decorative papilionoid legume that grows at low to medium altitudes in damp, cooler mountainous forests and rainforests on the Hawaiian Islands. Two clones of an identical plant, will not produce seed. It is better to air layer. The exquisite beauty of a Lei woven and created with these exotic blooms is truly amazing.
