Frangipani: Abigail

Last year when I got back from Key West, I order a frangipani plant. Actually, I ordered it in the hotel in Georgia on my way home. I should have stopped at a nursery, but it didn't occur to me until I was driving for 10 hours through Florida.

This year it's growing like a champ! I imagine I have at least one more year until it blooms, if not more. This one is should be small and bush-like rather than tall and tree-like. You can see where it's grafted, I imagine the bottom part is what keeps it short.

PS My mom gave me the ceramic cats in the background. They are a Baltimore tradition. I've never seen them here in Virginia. My neighbors little dogs bark at them like they are real.
