Whatever their private opinions about Vieques, it is sure that those Puerto Rican cadets are looking forward at graduation to receiving the gold bars of a U.S. Army/Air Force/Marine second lieutenant or Navy ensign pinned onto their epaulets.

1 In tropical regions, the frangipani may reach a height of 30-40 feet and grow half as wide. 2  Frangipani plants have long leather, fleshy leaves in clusters near the branch tips. 3  Frangipani plants have widely spaced, thick succulent branches which are round or pointed.
There are two methods for taking frangipani cuttings-hard wood (during winter) or semi ripe wood (during spring or even summer when the plant is in bloom). Cuttings should be a minimum of 30cm (or 12) in length and prefereably no more than 60cm (or 24). Take hard wood cuttings when the plant is dormant in winter.
