Ive, what you have is indeed commonly known as 'Bridal Bouquet' and is officially called 'Plumeria pudica. Your picture shows it to be pink but in fact the flowers are a pure white. Hence the Bridal Bouquet I suppose!

The best - without a doubt - nursery to buy Plumeria is Florida Colors Nursery in Homestead. They have been in existence a long time and will give you excellent personal service. The best thing is to go there in person, but after you've browsed their website I urge you to call them, since they have many other varieties available that don't make it on to their site.
I myself have been known to sell a few plumeria from my collection from time to time, and Chefmike has GREAT coops and special sales events; as a matter of fact he is starting one just about now..... Green Grin!

I dont live down there but reliable resources tell me there is only one to go to and its Florida Colors and they have a web site for eye candy. They are very buisy and great people so if you like to talk to them go to website and call there phone # they have to much to do to answer emails......Luc and Carol have been good to me and we do everything by mail..

now im being selfish but i have a big sale im just starting at great prices still working on it but go here to see so far my offerings and shipping is not that much im in central florida.
The thread "Chefmikes Plumeria sale all plants for sale free plants, discount prices LOOK" in Classifieds and Group Buys forum

some of my plants are grafted bu Luc from FCN and its a small plumeria world around here

welcome and i love your pudica i have 3 pink cross like yours but most the rest are white they are great

Thanks Hetty, indeed the flowers are pure white. I got it somewhere along Krome Ave, that area is full of nurseries of varying qualities.

I will look for Florida Colors- the website is gorgeous!

The slight pinkish tint is the result of the camera on my smartphone. Rolling my eyes.

Mike, I had actually peeked at your list a little earlier, but I didn't see prices anywhere. Let me know when the listing is ready, because I'm pretty sure I want to order a couple to start. The pictures are beautiful, and I'm thinking I am brave enough now to try and raise cuttings. Oh, and I also peeked at the one for adeniums. I'm feeling dizzy already! Hilarious!

Once again, Plumeria obtusa 'Singapore' - I caught it in the light of the setting sun, after a shower.
The scent on this one is unbelievable....Thumb of 2012-07-06/Dutchlady1/a551dc

I never take pictures of my Plumeria pudica but the pure white blooms are so numerous in my yard they are a backdrop for almost everything else! You can spot some more in the background..Thumb of 2012-07-06/Dutchlady1/69c627
