Beautiful, useful in medicine, capable of re-blooming even on cut branches, frangipani, or Pomelia, have conquered the world starting from Central and South America and the Caribbean.
In Mexico and Asia they are linked to spiritual rituals that are related to their medical proprieties and mechanical resistance. In Hawaii and Mauritius they have found a second homeland and their flowers are used to make the famous welcome necklaces.
The flower is the symbol of the city of Palermo (Sicily, Italy), and tradition states that a home pomelia flower is given by the mother to her daughter who gets married.

TOUCH

• The particular texture of the petals of the frangipani flowers that have fallen to the ground.

• Waxy, firm and strong enough to make…a necklace!

The plants of Plumeria genus arrived in Palermo in 1821 where it was love at first sight. Here they are called “pomelia”, but in the rest of Italy they are “frangipani”, probably in memory of Muzio Frangipane, the noble who created a famous fragrance very similar to that released by Plumeria rubra.
