It’s already the time for another Sunday Snapshot!
How quickly the week has flown by.
Red Plumeria
This tree was planted when we finished building our house. It grows in the corner of our tiny front garden, taking up most of the available space. I have always loved flowering trees and this one is a beauty. But it has grown bigger than the allotted space and grass cannot grow under it because it casts shade on the ground. Despite repeated attempts to plant fresh grass, nothing grows under its shade.
Although this had exceeded expectations and has overtaken the space, we have allowed it to have the run of the front garden.
Why?
Because it’s been with us since our home was built.
Because it’s pretty and looks gorgeous during most of the year. It sheds its leaves completely during winter but the new ones are such a joy to watch.
Similarly, we let a lot of familiar things co-exist despite them causing us minor inconveniences.
• Because we love them,
• they are a part of our lives for a long time,
• and making drastic changes takes a lot of determination and resolve.
Is it alright to tolerate inconvenience because it’s caused by a loved and familiar thing, object or person?
What are your views on this?

Thanks a lot Di. It is beautiful but has no scent. The white one is ordinary but has a lovely fragrance.

Colourful and scentless, or fragrant and plain white. How odd!

It is. All the colored varieties are devoid of fragrance.

That is absolutely gorgeous! I love it and would do the same. Sometimes minor inconveniences are worth it. This tree certainly is in my opinion. 🙂

Thanks Carol. Yes, it is a friend now so we go along with it’s tendency to take more than it’s share of space.

I had a white and yellow plumeria. It took SOOOO long for it to flower. It died after one of our moves☹ Its one of the flowers used to make leis in Hawaii. Too bad the red one is scentless, it’s beautiful!

Thanks Angie. I had the white and yellow one too. And another one which has orange flowers. But that was a bigger yard. This one is tiny and can hold just one tree!

Beautiful. Who could resist keeping a plumeria? My friend from Australia calls them frangipanis.

Thanks Marsh. It has many names. In my language it’s called gulcheen.

What a beautiful plant and flower! I think all of us tolerate a little inconvenience for something or someone we love. No body ever said life or love was easy.
