One in Adelphi, Maryland, one in Wildwood, Florida, one at the US National Arboretum with a grandfatherly interest in many more around the DC area (unless noted, pictures are taken the day of post)

Plumeria, Frangipani...the stuff the leis are usually made of
Everybody knows Plumeria. This one is flowering in a container on the East Terrace of the Administration Building at the Arboretum. It is wonderfully fragrant as the white ones (P. alba?) tend to be. One of the Flea Markets in Florida that I monitor for unusual plants has a vendor who offers cuttings of 40? different Plumerias. I was unable to choose and so didn't buy any. Sometimes I wonder about myself!
