This seedling was germinated in January, 2014. The seed-pod parent is Volare. It formed three tips fairly quickly. Those three tips (branches) are now 3-4' tall. One branch has remained a single. One branch now has grown two additional tips and the other branch has grown four additional tips. The two multi-tipped branches have inflo. The inflo began forming in July, 2015 and were in bloom September, 2015. It is now January, 2016, and both inflo are still blooming. The fragrance is floral/rose with a hint of baby powder.

This plumeria has not been registered with the PSA.

This is a 19-month-old seedling and the seed-pod parent was 'Bill Moragne.' This seedling began to branch at 11 months, formed an inflo at 13 months, was in flower at 14 months, and grew seed-pods at 16 months. The fragrance is honeysuckle and rose, with a hint of pear. The name has not been registered with the PSA yet.

I found out that the PSA will not accept names that have another plant's name in that title, so I will have to change the name of 'Kathryn's Honeysuckle Rose' to 'Kathryn's Fuchsia Fantasy'.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is that the Scott Pratt is the ultimate historical plumeria variety in America. It was the first plumeria registered by the PSA. Enough history. This plant is a vigorous grower, a great bloomer, and (for a red) is easy to root.

After 6 yr., my opinion of Scott Pratt's rooting tendencies has changed. I would now label this variety "difficult to root". I had seed-pods on one of my two plants this summer (2021), but the pods aborted within a month. My understanding is that this variety rarely will grow seed-pods and that there has never been an instance of those pods maturing with viable seeds.

I only have the one plant, Hetty, and it came from you two years ago. It has now been in bloom for two months and is multi-tipped. These cut flowers are nicely fragrant and last about twice as long as any other plumeria flower I have, some 12 varieties. The leaves are huge on this plant, easily 20" long and 6" wide.

This is a three-year-old plant and these are its first blooms. Since this C. Hardyana was crossed with self, the blooms may be different from plant to plant, unless the plant is a division of the "mother" plant.
