FOTD: 11/23/2022 – Plumeria

Today’s Walking Squares selection is putting the spotlight on Plumeria and the Atkinson Plumeria Farm.

Stacy’s Delight
Plumeria
Atkinson Plumeria Farm
La Mesa, California

The Atkinson’s have been growing and selling plumeria in San Diego’s East County since 1997. They also offer classes, consultation services, and sales throughout the year. Stacy also uses the various Plumeria to make leis and to teach others how to make them.

A lei is a garland or wreath common in Hawaii, across Polynesia, and the Philippines. A lei is a common symbol of love, friendship, celebration, honor or greeting. In essence, it is a symbol of Aloha.
