It's summer and the Plumeria tree in our front planter is in full bloom. It's times like these that make me reconsider getting rid of it. It's fragrant and lovely to look at. On the other hand, ants like to dwell in the trunk and blooms, people 'rape' the tree of the flowers for lei and ear/hair accessories, and it's a messy tree (read: giant leaves falling that need to be raked). I guess I'll wait until the end of summer to decide. One of the things that would be hard to find in NYC.
