Re: I'll take the "Plumeria" and "Palm," but you can have the "algaroba" trees!
Dear Lou,
It seems that the beauty of the algaroba tree is lost in its multitudinous pods which can litter one's yard! That would be a problem, perhaps, for one lacking 14 kids to clean up after the noted tree, which we can surmise was a chore handed out in the Chan household!
I fondly recall the sweet smell of plumeria at the Honolulu Airport after one leaves behind the wind-wafted smell of jet exhaust. Plumeria's scent added to the warm, moist air...heavenly...
