ok, what is Hamlet? a dog ? a potbellied pig? a child?
I love plumeria, though it nearly killed me.. When I was little (ok, I was 8, not as little as I wish I'd been given how stupid this was..) I ate some of the leaves, at the suggestion of a native boy while I was visiting and playing in a sandbox with a plumeria tree overhanging it. He said they were good. hey, they were! He ate some, too. They were also poisonous and I got very sick, very high fever, my hair dropped out in chunks, my vision went from 20/20 to 20/500.. it was pretty awful, but at least didn't kill me. So be careful about getting plumeria juice/pollen on your hands - ie. wash after handling the flowers. Even the lei makers will tell you this if you ask. They are also so lovely..
