Frangis After Dark

by SteveMeet the keeper

Rare frangipanis. Questionable restraint.

A private Perth collection of rare frangipanis, properly named, carefully grown and occasionally willing to go home with someone new.

How the night works

Small releases.No garden-centre theatre.

Frangis After Dark is built for people who care which cultivar they are actually taking home, not just whether it happens to be pink.

Private collection protocolHouse Rules

Before anything follows someone home, these four rules get their turn at the door.

01
Correctly Named, Incorrectly Behaved

Cultivars arrive with their proper names, known origins where verified, and just enough mystery to stay interesting.

02
No Mystery Sticks After Midnight

Available releases show the real thing: the exact cutting, rooted plant or graft, photographed before money changes hands.

03
No Fake Family Trees

If her backstory is incomplete, we say so. Mystery is allowed; invented pedigree is not.

04
No Sneaking Across Town

Before anything leaves, collection or delivery is checked against current Perth movement and quarantine rules.

Choose your level of temptation

Start in the right room.

Some people arrive ready to buy. Some arrive to lurk. Both are perfectly respectable after dark.

The family business of keeping names straight

Because “the pink one” is not a cultivar.

I label every plant in my collection with tags made by my son Brock at BrockMark. He permanently laser-engraves weatherproof anodised-aluminium plant tags, adds a stainless-steel wire loop and checks the spelling before the plants are left to defend their own identities.
