Frangipani |

Frangipani (Plumeria) flowers are most fragrant at night in order to lure sphinx moths to pollinate them. The flowers have no nectar, and simply dupe their pollinators. The flowers are pollinated as the moths inadvertently transfer pollen from flower to flower in their fruitless search for nectar.
Here in Hawai'i, they're commonly used for the making of leis.
