I'm sure I have this color....we just have to wait until it decides to bloom!!!

I'm always so leery about seedlings...like I've said before. You never know what you're going to end up with. This is why I always get cutting-grown plants.

We have a HUGE plumeria sale here in San Diego every Labor Day weekend. It takes place in Balboa Park put on by the Southern California Plumeria Society. There's thousands of plumerias in this building. Practically every variety you want, you'll find there. I attended almost every year, except for the last two years. This is where I purchased my Hilo Beauty about 6 years ago.

Here's the website if you want to check it out.

All the plumerias here are blooming like crazy with this horrible, horrible heatwave we've had for 10 days, and will be lasting for another week longer. :>(

Luv the color!

Thanks! It's a very popular variety here in southern California.

Another stunning colour looks perfect like the others.

Thanks! :>)) This one has a very spicy sweet scent. Even when the flowers are dying they still have a wonderful fragrance.

thats great to know it must be a stronger aroma to last when then flowers are dying.

Yes, it's a very strong spicy fragrance which last a long, long time. :>))

Shame you could nt make an aftershave for men from it instead of old spice it could be new spice ?

I know, right? ?
