Sorry! I hate to be the bearer of bad news, however, seeds from named Plumeria varieties very, very rarely come true-to-type. Seedlings just tend to be too variable (unpredictable).
Plumeria rubra 'Lurline' is a very exquisite and sought after variety...and it tends to be pretty expensive. The true variety Lurline is always propagated by cuttings.

Oh well Andy not to worry.....I would just be happy to see any flower on any of them now. Lol

Hopefully, you'll get flowers in the same color range as the variety Lurline, when this seedling blooms! :>)
Plumeria rubra 'Lurline' has a stunning, exquisitely fragrant flower. Small plants sold here (only 2ft) usually cost 40 or 50 dollar. There's a Plumeria variety called Confetti...it has almost a neon orange flower. A cutting of this variety can be more than $130.00.

Delonix......My goodness......Confetti must be a prized bloom at that price Andy....

Yes, there's several newer varieties which command huge prices for cuttings.
Check this out!

Yes, I have they're catalog I purchased at our local yearly Plumeria Society sales about 4 year ago for a couple of dollars. They have wonderful varieties at some very hefty prices. I can actually purchase many of the varieties here in San Diego for a lot less. Although, some of those new varieties are extremely expensive here, too.
