This was one of the three plumeria I brought back from Maui almost three decades ago. It did not bloom the last two years but now has multiple stalks and blooms. I lost the label long, long ago and I need an ID or perhaps possible ID. The leaves are not as large as the 'Celadine' and are darker green with more of a reddish tint, particularly when they first form. The flower stalks are dark crimsom and so are the flowers, with the centers a darker crimsom, more like dark maroon. There is a light fragrance but nothing like the 'Celadine'. I think the white flakes on the petals are pollen from adjacent 'White Butterfly' ginger deposited after heavy rain storms yesterday.Thumb of 2012-08-19/drdawg/3d65e5

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.
