O ke aloha ke kuleana o kihi malihini ~ Love comes like a billow and rests before the eyes… A lovely pink and yellow variety of Plumeria. / These lovely flowering trees are also known as Frangipani and Temple Trees / Ha’iku Maui Hawai`i 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). Information Source: Wikipedia 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.

The name, Passiflora or “passion flower”, was given by 16th century Spanish missionaries in South America who thought they saw a reference to the Crucifixion of Christ in the elaborate flower structures: The corona, sitting at the top of the flower, is the crown of thorns; the five anthers are the five wounds; the three styles are the three nails; and the five petals and five sepals are the apostles, less Judas and Peter. This beauty is growing in the rainforest / Ke’anae Peninsula Maui Hawai’i Passiflora coccinea / Red Grandilla It is a beautiful flowering vine which is native to South America. Red passionflower is indigenous to the state of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil This plant may be evergreen or semi-evergreen. Here on the tropical island of Maui they are evergreen. The stems are very slender and smooth and the leaves have large lobes and sport fine hairs. After flowering, a 2” orange to yellow edible fruit is formed. Red passionflower does best with a well drained soil made from equal parts sand or gravel, peat, and loam. Passionflowers thrive on regular feeding with fertilizers high in potash. Care should be taken not to overwater or overfeed. Pests and diseases associated with growing Passiflora racemosa include spider mites, whiteflies, scale insects, leafspots, virus diseases and iron deficiency. / Light: Red passionflower needs full sun or partial shade and should be protected from drying winds and the hottest midday sun. / Moisture: Red passionflower prefers a humid atmosphere and regular watering. The roots will rot if the soil is not well drained. / Hardiness: USDA Zones 10 – 12. Red passionflower tolerates temperatures down to 50ºF (10ºC) for short periods. / Propagation: Red passionflower is easily rooted from tip cuttings taken in spring or summer. Cuttings should include a node or small section (heel) of older wood. Passionflowers also can be grown from seed, although this method is more difficult; seeds should be soaked prior to planting and germination will be slow. Usage / Passiflora racemosa can be grown in a container. It is especially well suited for growing in the greenhouse or conservatory. It also can be grown as a house plant, but it needs high humidity. In frost free climates red passionflower is grown as a cover for a trellis, arbor, fence or garden teepee. Red passionflower can be planted next to an open shrub or tree and allowed to grow up through the branches. This is a vigorous plant and when mature it is likely to become tangled with dead growth in the center and should be pruned annually. Passiflora racemosa is a strikingly beautiful evergreen vine with hanging, 1 ft (0.3 m) long clusters of 8-12 elaborately formed bright red flowers. The individual flowers are bowl-shaped, about 5 in (12.7 cm) across, and have ten bright red sepals and petals, collectively called “tepals.” There are five purple and white structures called “coronas” perched above the tepals. The flowers usually are borne in opposing pairs on the pendent racemes, and are produced throughout the summer and fall. They yield to small, oblong, deep green edible fruits about 3 in (7.6 cm) in length. The stems of red passionflower are slender and angled, and the leaves are rather sparsely distributed. The 4 in (10.2 cm) leaves are glossy and leathery, and may be entire or three-lobed. Red passionflower grows to a length of 10-30 ft (3.1-9.1 m).

A macro photograph of the deceptively beautiful purple flower of a Canada thistle Captured near St. Mary’s Reservoir Provincial Recreation area in southern Alberta, Canada. Captured with a Canon Rebel XSi with an 18-55mm lens. Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense) is a perennial flowering plant that is an invader from Eurasia. / Canada thistle is misnamed, since it was brought to this continent from Europe in the early 1600’s. Due to competition with crop plants, weed control legislation for Canada thistle was passed as early as 1795 in Vermont and 1831 in New York. Canada thistle is a problem even in Europe where natural enemies abound, because it is an aggressive weed that spreads both by seed and extensive root systems. The deep roots grow horizontally and send up shoots along their length, forming dense colonies.
