Dutchlady - I am so glad you posted about the P. nudica not being fragrant! I went to Aruba in Dec. and there was a plant that my daughter and I picked a flower (for our hair) from every time we walked by it. I kept telling my DH that I thought it was a plumeria but ?it couldn't be because it doesn't smell like anything? Now because you posted that I searched it and now I know that this is the plant from Aruba. Thank you for the unintentional id!

Now that I know most of them are fragrant. I guess my hope is that I could eventually have one that smells like the ones used to make a lei that I brought home from Hawaii. It was a wonderful smell I could never forget nor describe. It seems like it is one of the more common white and yellow large flowered types for lei making. If you know the type - What would the fragrance be described like?
