An extremely variable plumeria that expresses different flower sizes and colors based on environmental conditions. Can appear as a small flower or large flower depending on temperatures and humidity.

These environmental variations sometimes lead growers to rename the same cultivar based on appearance, particularly when eye coloration becomes yellow or when color intensifies significantly.
