Description

JJ Named after Jack’s daughter. At least three different spellings, however it is definitely the same stunning plumeria. The origination of Jeena came from plants that were stolen from our garden, and renamed by Thais who acquired plants from the thief to sell in local markets before we even introduced Gina. Needs good roots to bloom properly. Large flowers and bloom in a big clusters. Candevelop pagoda tips with out heat. Nice touch of peachy-orange blended with dark maroon color and white color reverse on the petals which create a nice contrast color in one flowers. Thick petals with beautiful fragrance. Turns darker or lighter color when climate changed. Easy to root. Cold tolerant. Sets seed. Intense pink plumeria, the pink color offset by delicate white curls on the petals. Produces large blooms full on flowers. Strong grower with very thick wood. Growth habit is in the semi-compact to medium range. Gina tends to produce leaves first then buds. As spectacular a pink 3-4” as you will ever see, so much so that someone even went to the trouble to steal it from our garden. Growth semi-compact, medium floral, huge bright red flowers, fade to an equally stunning burnt orange red. The rolled petal edges form an orange to cream colored raised lip which frames the intense color sensationally. Flower bunches are very large. Nice fat 4" blooms of a deep red with a bit of orange. The petal edges curl revealing the whitish backs which really sets off the color combination. Recommended for the coast. Huge flowers start off a deep burgundy red then fade to bright crimson red then finally fade to an equally stunning burnt orange red. Soccer ball sized flower heads on a compact /robust semi dwarf tree to 2.5 x 2.5m. Thick petals. Cooler weather allows the brighter colors to come through. Modest Variation in color over life of flower. Heavy bloomer and beautiful thick almost burgundy flowers. 3.5" purple-red with copper-orange-red and shades of cream-orange, opening successively. Turning to deeper red-purple with maturity. Petals: strongly overlapping, broad obovate and very slightly pointed, heavy substance. Purple-red, increasingly orange-red towards base and cream along margin. Fragrance: medium. Leaves: decorative, emerald green to olive-green, semi shiny, broad elliptical with pointed tip. Intense non-fading colors and long flowering period. Thick long lasting petals, interesting petal color shading with slight to mild fragrance. Attractive red and green color of petioles & leaves. Compact plant with good branching and easy flower production without excessively large leaves. Beautiful leaf stems and tip color. Thick wood. Perfect for leis, fresh plumeria scent. Any climate or recent weather it has a great display of color although variable. With the most sun exposure it is a deep red yet a red with a tint of orange. With more shade colors of vermilion or orange-red become more apparent. Also the leaf petioles are beautiful color. Strong plant and roots easily. Cooler weather allows the brighter colors to come through. Modest Variation in color over life of flower. Heavy bloomer and beautiful thick almost burgundy flowers and great shape. 3.5" purple-red with copper-orange-red and shades of cream-orange, opening successively.

Strong grower with well branched balanced shape, attractive leaves, among the heaviest of petals, slight to mild fragrance. Loving it more for its richness of color, thick texture, and great keeping quality. Mild to medium spicy scent. A little less thick than CA Sunset. Scent which grows stronger with more heat. One of the best reds out there..gets amazing color with no heat. Heavy bloomer with beautiful, thick, almost burgundy red 3 1/2" flowers with a contrasting creamy white upturned edge.
