What a lovely image this is, Renee...and a perfect 'remedy' for our freezing Northern Hemisphere BP buddies!! ;o/ Frangipani are one my most favourite flowers so of course, as you can imagine, I really love this image!! :o)

I had the white ones in my bridal bouquet, and my bridesmaids had the pink ones!! Mind you, that's QUITE some time ago now, though!! Tomorrow, Phil and I will be celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary!! It's hard to believe where all the years have gone to!! ;o) #7120313
