Thank you, Stewart and Cindy. I am doing better, just all bandaged up.

Nice flowers and nice photo, Jeff. What's that variety?

Jeff, just because a flower resembles another doesn't mean it is.... Many other characteristics (flower size and shape, fragrance, shape of inflorescence, growth habit, leaf shape, size and color, etc) go into identifying a cultivar.
Yours is not 'Dark Night' but a nice, unidentified plumeria. Enjoy it as such.

Those flowers look similar to the Malaysian Red to me. But as Hetty says, there are so many factors that go into identification that photos of the flowers alone is not nearly enough information.

I completely agree Hetty and Ken !! I love the flower the way it is...Yes your right Ken it does look like your Malaysian Red ..I guess being my first flowers I had to go snoop around the database to do some comparison shopping but on the same token I did know it most likely was unidentifiable..Hence 'noid ' right ? ...I am happy with that !!

I can think of a few things, but at my age, they would give me a fatal heart attack. Whistling

Your right Ken !! I am more young than you..Yet I have climbed the mountain and am descending down the other side...I do try to take good care of myself exercise and eating right...But as I grow older I understand more that your limited in those areas also..I kind of figured it was you Stewart.I hope all of those new Plummies you acquired are doing good....I did receive a very nice healthy rooted cutting of Celadine from Ken that is doing fantastic...Hope Y'all have a great day !! I tip my hat to you.
