So gorgeous!
Don't worry, my sense of smell while is very sensitive, can sense different than the others. We have a special nose LOL.
If at first you don't succeed, call it version 1.0
Keep smiling, it makes people wonder what you've been up to.
My "bunnies" are in fact Guinea pigs. 5 of them so far.

I guess so. I can feel very faint smells way before the others around me but I have a hard time describing it.

I got some more accurate pictures of the flower color. The first bloom lasted 4 days.

Sorry Hetty, I should have taken better pictures early on. I was so excited about my first bloom, that failed to take a picture of the underside of the bloom.

Why don't you give it a name? 'Plano Special' has a nice ring to it Big Grin
The starburst center is what convinced me that it wasn't Rose Red, more so than the back of the flower.

Someone on the Plumeria Growers group on facebook said it looked similar to Wildfire. I still like Plano Special better Smiling
