Plumeria rubra, otherwise known as frangipani, is similar in appearance to plumeria obtusa, otherwise known as Singapore plumeria. But where plumeria obtusa is evergreen, plumeria rubra is deciduous.
This is the time of year when plumeria rubra begins blooming again. The flowers appear before the leaves, starting in January around here. This photo, taken in spring of last year, shows the flowers well established with a few green leaves also showing.

These are grown here too, especially along the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast and around Durban. The scent is truly heavenly.

A favorite flower of mine. There’s something about them that I find both invigorating and relaxing, which is not a bad combination.

I would imagine it does. Travelling in Asia I would pick up a freshly fallen flower and carry it just to have the aroma to hand.

Plumeria is my favorite flower! These are beautiful! Do you have any in your garden, Graham? I’m excited to see these in bloom in March when we visit Hilo.

None of these in my yard (not really a garden), but plenty around the neighborhood. They should be going strong in March.
