Great collection of links. Just had to follow the one to "What is the True Plumeria Fragrance?" [http://agrss.sherman.hawaii.edu/hort/digest/hd102/hd102_3.html] Here's the summary at the bottom:

Quoting:
Does it make the wonderful plumeria fragrance the less exquisite to know that 12 hydrocarbons, 21 alcohols, 13 esters, 8 aldehydes, and 20 miscellaneous compounds were detected?

So, when asked what creates the wonderful plumeria scent, you can reply authoritatively and quote the chemical names. On the other hand, you can paraphrase Joyce Kilmer and state that only God can make a plumeria.


:-)

P.S. Joyce Kilmer wrote a lovely little poem called "Trees." http://www.risingdove.com/Kilmer/love_trees.html

A couple of those links didn't come up for me, and some of the links I am very familiar with. Here is must reading for plumeria lovers: http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/oc/freepubs/pdf/OF-31.pdf
