Angel of Love semi-dwarf evergreen frangipani (plumeria)

Our landscape architect, Andrew Prowse, designed our swimming pool in the shape of a nautilus shell. In the middle, he added a round area for plants. Initially Andrew intended that a palm tree be planted there, but we were concerned it would grow too tall. So Andrew recommend an evergreen semi-dwarf frangipani.
When I first heard frangipani, I said no, because I thought of the stick looking plants in the winter. But then I learned evergreen varieties are available.
Frank and I drove to a nursery near Ravenshoe, Sacred Garden Frangipanis (www.sacredgardenfrangipanis.com) Its owner, Stephen Prowse (not related to Andrew Prowse), told us that he has the largest collection of frangipanis in Australia. We bought the Angel of Love upon Stephen's recommendation. We also bought 2 of plumeria pudica for our car park.
The Angel of Love was just a small stick about August 2012 when we planted it. Eight months later, it is a meter tall, with beautiful clusters of white/gold/pink flowers and attractive green foliage.
