What is the Frangipani Tree?

Hey, Mommy... what happened to the frangipani tree?

Oooh, Mommy had it chopped down last Saturday. Poor tree. Apparently, it was planted to close to the house. It was getting too big and the roots were threatening to break the tiles at the patio. Also, everyday dry leaves and flowers fall to the ground... making a mess in the garden and also that of our neighbours'. However, Mommy did save two branches to plant in pots.

Mommy, I know it is very sai-sai (sunny) now but may I go outside and play?

We love it too. The one we had has pink flowers! So pretty. We got it from sg.buloh a few years ago. But it's actually easy to plant. My neighbours took a branch or two when we had to give the tree a little 'trim' last year and now it is a pretty tree in their gardens...
