This is one of the many hundreds of flowering plumerias at my former neighbor's house. Photo taken Aug. 30, 2016.

This is a 10' or 12' tree. It's loaded with flowers.

The first time I ever saw this plant was as a desktop background when my wife bought a laptop. I was impressed by it & even got her to send me the photo by email & I then installed it as my desktop background for some time!
Shame I can't grow it here on the balcony at home! :-((

It actually grows to a tree here in San Diego, CA. I have a 15 (4.6m) tall with a spread of 24' (7.3m) tree in my back yard. It's a pink/red variety.

How lucky you are! :-D)

Yes, we are very lucky here in San Diego! :>)
Plumeria is a very common tree/shrub (depending on variety) here.
I have several in the ground. I think due to our extreme, historic drought here they're not blooming too well this year (in my yard, anyway). The ones I see in my neighborhood are blooming flawlessly!

I understand Andy. I have things that are looking a bit thirsty as I do my best to help the ones that need more.
I actually missed that I was underwatering a tree Aloe. When I cleaned up all around it the ground was bone dry.
NO wonder it has leaves 1/3 the size of normal.
California summers are hard on all plants once you take away the water. Lethal!

Yes, it's especially lethal to thirsty tropicals.

See who else is growing Plumeria alba (Gulchin).
See who else has plants in genus Plumeria.
Great photo. Thats a variety I would try.
