Sweet-Smelling Pumeria

One of my favorite sights on the island is a Plumeria tree that is laden with fragrant blossoms - whether they be white, yellow, or pink.  The flowers are widely used to make lei.  They are also a favorite among hula dancers, who cluster them together and use them to adorn their hair.   Can't you almost smell them?
