Good morning, DutchLady. I have taken a few more pics of the unknown Plumeria, and hopefully they will help ID the plant. The stem/leaves are very similar to my 'Celadine' and that is what I thought this plant was since it is planted amoung several 'Celadine' plants. However when it bloomed it was certainly not the 'Celadine'. The petals are apprxomimated 1 1/2" long, 3/4" wide, and some petals are ovate and some slightly pointed. The flowers have a slightly sweet fragrance, but nothing like the wondeful fragrance of my 'Celadine'. I would call the stripe along the back of each petal fuchsia rose and this color shows through on the top of the petal as a soft pink. The center of the flowers is bright yellow and the rest of the petals are pure white.Thumb of 2012-07-20/drdawg/305abf

Neat little insect on that last pic. What variety do I have?

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
