Plumeria Rubra flower
The timing couldn't have been better for this week's Macro Monday topic: Flowers.
I've brought back Frangipanier (french name for Plumeria) seeds in 2014 from a travel on the "La Réunion" island, next to Madagascar, and got about 8 plants that are growing steadily in pots since then.
A few weeks ago, after 7 years of waiting, the biggest of those plants started shily producing what turned out to be the very first flower buds.
After a few weeks of tepid development, the sun came back through the fog and last Thursday, precisely in sync with HMM, the first two flowers opened, one after the other, in front of my mesmerized eyes...
