Plumeria is a genus of flowering plants in the dogbane family, Apocynaceae. Most species are deciduous shrubs or small trees. The species variously are indigenous to Mexico, Central America, Hawaii and the Caribbean, and as far south as Brazil, but are grown as cosmopolitan ornamentals in warm regions. Common names for plants in the genus vary widely according to region, variety, and whim, but Frangipani or variations on that theme are the most common. Plumeria also is used directly as a common name, especially in horticultural circles.
Plumeria flowers are most fragrant at night in order to lure sphinx moths to pollinate them. The flowers yield no nectar, however, and simply trick their pollinators. The moths inadvertently pollinate them by transferring pollen from flower to flower in their fruitless search for nectar. Insects or human pollination can help create new varieties of plumeria. Plumeria trees from cross pollinated seeds may show characteristics of the mother tree or their flowers might just have a totally new look.]
Plumeria species may be propagated easily by cutting leafless stem tips in spring. Cuttings are allowed to dry at the base before planting in well-drained soil. Cuttings are particularly susceptible to rot in moist soil. One optional method to root cuttings is applying rooting hormone to the clean fresh-cut end to enable callusing. Plumeria cuttings could also be propagated by grafting a cutting to an already rooted system.] There are more than 300 named varieties of Plumeria.
In Persian, the name is yas or yasmin.In Bengali the name is "Kath Champa", in Hindi, champa, in Gujarati champo, in Marathi chafa (चाफा), in Telugu deva ganneru (divine nerium), in Meitei khagi leihao. In Hawaii, the name is melia, although common usage is still 'plumeria'. In Malayalam it is called Arali (അരളി). In Sri Lanka, it is referred to as araliya (අරලිය) and (in English) as the 'Temple Tree'. In Cantonese, it is known as gaai daan fa or the 'egg yolk flower' tree. The name lilawadi (originating from Thai) is found occasionally. In Indonesia, where the flower has been commonly associated with Balinese culture, it is known as kamboja, in Bali especially it is known as jepun. In French Polynesia it is called tipanie or tipanier and tīpani in the Cook Islands. In the Philippines it is called kalachuchi.

This is the first macro image I ever attempted, for the February 25th, 2013 Macro Monday challenge "Hair". It was lost in an upload disaster - so this is a repost, so that I can add it to the groups discussion panel for the upcoming 10th anniversary celebration.
What I wrote initially was - "This shot was taken behind the left ear of an Alaskan wolf. I love the color variations."
Ik was al bang dat ik deze "zomer" geheel zonder blauwtjes moest doen. Gelukkig vonden we tijdens het fietsen een veldje waar er enkele vlogen. Ik had de sx50 bij me daar de sx60 bij techrepair is.
Un fragile gioiello sospeso tra luce e silenzio,
la rugiada accarezza il mattino nascente,
riflette l'universo in un sospiro d'acqua,
un attimo eterno, in bilico tra l'infinito e il nulla.

For Macro Mondays theme; "Garden Macro".
Since my garden has been visited by old man winter - all I can do is dream of next summer. Until then my old garden gloves will remain on the shelf awaiting spring.
HMM to all.
For Macro Mondays theme; "Arrow".
(The arrow barely measures one and one half inches from top to tip, and the Indian head penny is a genuine coin.)
HMM everyone!

Goccia sospesa,
il sole e il prato al fondo—
mondo capovolto.

yup, a few minutes later this little guy flew away. I actually saw it crash into a spiderweb, went in to get a shot and accidentaly broke the bottom support for the web, so decided to rescue this instead. :P
if you look at it LARGE or ORIGINAL you can see the spiders silk coming off its head.
For Macro Mondays theme: "Curves" HMM! ***I found a little three inch dried fireweed stalk still standing under a spruce tree after our long winter, and wondered how she would look for this weeks theme. After all - she still has all of her curves. (Wish I cloud say the same after all of these years. *LOL)
