( Ed.'s Note: It's wet and muddy outside. Cars are stalled in the flooded streets, and you forget your umbrella in the last place you stopped. Yet, one of our seven readers took the time to capture a picture of this plant which we found out is called a plumeria (commonly known as frangipani), an imported tropical deciduous tree or large shrub in the dogbane family (Apocynaceae) famous for its waxy, intensely fragrant blossoms and for its use in traditional Hawaiian leis. Apparently, this plant is right at home in our semi-arid – or is it semi-tropical? – Rio Grande Valley. Nice.)
