I received many cuttings from friends and have no idea what the name are of the following:

1.

Doug from Maui Gardens said it might be called an Elizabeth Taylor.

2.

Is this a Kaneohe Sunburst?

3.

Is this a Maui Beauty?

4.

5.

6.

back side of the plumeria above.

Another perspective of the backside of the plumeria right above.

7.

8.

9.

This one has a heavy perfume smell, 2" in diameter, and opens just like a cup

If you know any, please identify by picture number. Thank you!

#2 Doesn't look like the photo's in the database of Plumeria (Plumeria rubra 'Kaneohe Sunburst')

And I'm not sure about #3 For comparison Dutchlady has a photo in the database of Maui Beauty: Plumeria (Plumeria rubra 'Maui Beauty')

Live in a rainforest, get wet feet.

Hard to figure the official names of Plumeria varieties. Not much info out there to go on.

Folks here call the plain white one with a yellow eye, and strong fragrance, 'Pua Malia'. It it considered choice for lei making!
