I am pretty sure that this is one of my older plumeria and if so, it would be a named one. Somewhere along the way, the label was lost. This is not a compact plant. It is now about 5' tall with large, 24"x6" leaves. The flowers are approximately 3" in diameter and have a light, rose-like fragrance. The just-formed buds are white, but as they mature, they become rich pink. Then the flowers first open, the petals are rich pink with a yellow-orange center. Over a couple of days, the petals become light pink and the yellow-orange center enlarges. The picture of the single (removed) flower is approximately 2 days old and I show the reverse of that flower as well. Click on the pictures for the best view.

I need help with its identification.

Thumb of 2015-11-10/drdawg/1d06fc The flower on the right side is newly opened. The two on the left are 1-2 days older.

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.
