xen Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 jimmy, Frangipani are often called cemetery trees around Asia and the Pacific as in the 18th century when the Christian missionaries spread the word they would also plant Frangipanis in cemeteries and so the association began between Frangipani and death. . That is why some of the older Thais still do not like Frangipani trees much. I can't remember the exact reason why the missionaries would plant the Frangipani in cemeteries though.

Yes, Xen, I remember hearing that story about Frangipani when I first came to Thailand almost ten years ago... but they certainly seem more and more popular! Moving on... I think this may be the last season for these coconuts.... and we've hardly had rough weather yet... Maenam beach Samui. Maybe that kid is digging too much for clams!

That is why some of the older Thais still do not like Frangipani trees much. I can't remember the exact reason why the missionaries would plant the Frangipani in cemeteries though. One reason was simply because one may not be able to bury a body 6 feet below ground level so if buried at a more shallow depth the smell of decay would permeate the cemetery. Especially since way back in the old days out here, embalming was not usually practiced for myriad reasons. And they initially didn't buy the English 6 feet under edict. Frangipani is, after all, very fragrant.
