Frangipani Champa plants have a lot of religious sanctity among many religions especially Hindus. It is believed that the champa plant due to its heavenly fragrance attracts snakes. Hence many people avoid growing this plant in the house garden.
Some also have this rural spiritual belief that this plant is inhabited by nature spirits and fairies and hence young girls and married women must not sit or go near this champa plants.
The champa plant is always considered sacred and pooja is done for blessings from mother nature. I love the champa plant for its beautiful colors my favorite is the yellow white champa flower as we had a tree below our home and childhood fantasies and memories are never forgotten, its fragrance is more intense, heavenly, the dream of owning one led me to plant two plants of champa in our terrace garden.Usually most of the times they are loaded with healthy blooms.
Usually champa trees grow huge and spread out with many branches and as we have two plants growing in containers they have given lots of healthy blooms in a few branches.
Caught this Champa tree in a private garden full in beauty of red.
