When I searched for "Plumeria" I found 96 images at Acclaim Images.com.
They are one of my favorite places to browse around for photos and some great original clipart. Fred Voetsch built and runs this site himself, so everything is hand picked from a select group of artists and photographers. You can also order prints and posters through them.
