Frangipani, known in Thai as “ลีลาวดี” (lilawadi), is culturally significant in Thailand, often used in religious ceremonies and seen in gardens and temples. It symbolizes immortality and spirituality, though sometimes associated with sorrow due to its use in funeral wreaths. The hardy, drought-resistant plant thrives in Thailand’s warm climate and is used ornamentally, in perfumes, oils, and traditional medicines. Its presence enhances the aesthetic appeal of tourist areas .
