Frangipani 💜

Frangipani: the most beautiful flower in the world 💜

Frangipani: symbolises strength love, immortality and spirituality 🌟

Frangipani: the tattoo on my right rib cage 🌺

Okay so I sound a little obsessed... And any of you who spend a few hours with me in this part of the world know that my obsession with this velvety wonder is REAL

Aurelia: Latin origin: "golden"
