OOOOPS... OH WELL

I saw an advert for frangipani (native to Australia). Now, my experience of frangipani is of my aunty having some growing outside her window, all bushy, and my mother in law having one in a pot. So when I saw them advertised for $3 each (normally $20) I jumped at the chance, but not having the opportunity to get to the shop in time, send in Jason. When they came home, I discovered that they are actually a HUGE open form tree this particular variety growing to 6 metres. There went my opportunity to have the beautiful scent filling our courtyard, and for a while there I did not know what to do with them. However, they have found a nice home, out by the new shed and on the courtyard side of the greenhouse... so hopefully the smell will waft over where it is wanted upon occasion.

  1. you can take a cutting and leave it outside to "dry" or whatever happens to it for a couple of weeks. (like you would do with suculents) then pot it up. It doesn't have to be a huge tree, so you can still have a little in a pot for free!
