This variety is also known as 'Polynesian White'.

This is a pod-sibling of 'Ammaron's Curly White' and quite similar in appearance. Sariah's Curly Pink is a superior bloomer in my experience; it is also a prolific seed-setter.

This Plumeria is more commonly known as Rose Red and registered as such.

As the name indicates, this plumeria has huge bloomheads that form a ball-like shape.

This variety comes from the Yucatan in Mexico.

This striking variety - the blooms stay semi-opened as shown in the picture - is more commonly referred to as 'JL Trumpet'

This variety can carry many blooms on one inflorescence at any time.

This is a Jim Little variety from Hawaii.

This Plumeria is usually referred to as 'Gladys Brandt' and was named for a famous Hawaiian civic leader.

Fragrance is rose-like.

The scent is jasmine with an undertone of lemon.

This Jim Little variety from Hawaii should not be confused with Plumeria pudica, which is sometimes referred to as 'Bridal Bouquet.'

This is also known as:
Pink Australis, Pink Lizzy, Fairy Wings, Common Aussie Pink, Gentle Pink and Coral Isles. It can have fifty or more blooms on one flower stem! This is one of Australia's finest plumeria and one of the toughest and fertile trees, producing an abundance of seeds. Three to four inch blooms with a floral to sweet, musky, coconut fragrance.

This is an older Thai variety, originating from Dr. Preecha of 'Siamseeds'.

The trunk of this Plumeria is characterized by protruding leaf nodes.

The leaf petioles on this species are extremely short, making it easy to identify.

The scent of this Plumeria species is almost irresistible. Reminiscent of Gardenia, and extremely strong.

The blooms of Plumeria rubra are extremely fragrant, but interestingly each variety or cultivar has a unique scent. This can range from fruity, to sweet floral, to intense gardenia-like. Occasionally a variety will have a less than pleasant odor, but most Plumeria blooms are delightfully scented. Some of the most fragrant varieties are 'Vera Cruz Rose' (rose-like scent), 'Mary Helen Eggenberger' (smells like sour candy), Makaha Sunn (strong floral fragrance, one of the best!) and Aztec Gold (smells of ripe peaches).
