Anecdotal Notes
Overall pink grainy, with orange/yellow center. Citrus fragrance. 3" Grainy pink with lemon fragrance. Wide oval petals of pink and white with red flecks and a yellow center. Long flowering period and good keeping qualities. Very sweet lemon fragrance. Moderate pink and white with moderate red spot in small, brilliant yellow center; grainy pigmentation; petal wide and oval w/round tip, moderately overlapping; deep pink grainy band on back; good texture; 2 1/2 - 3"; slight sweet scent; keeping quality good. 3" violet-pink to white with a brilliant orange-yellow center. Excellent keeping quality and good texture with an interesting grainy pigmentation of long flowering cultivar. It has an extraordinary fragrance similar to gardenias. Medium compact tree. Can get really woody, blooms on short branches and a compact growth habit. Dense growth habit. Light green leaves are oblanceolate with acuminate tips. Pink and white with red flecks and yellow center, 2", sweet fragrant. 3”, and shade from violet-pink to white with a brilliant orange-yellow center. Loretta can have many faces and gets really pink in the heat. She is harder to recognize in the cool weather. Floral scent. Heavy bloomer. Somewhat compact grower but an outstanding bloom with a wonderful fragrance. Strong sweet scent that's very attractive. It will draw your nose every time you get near it. Good brancher. Fuzzy stalks. One of the most underrated plumerias. It flowers like crazy, sets pods, branches well, and is compact. Great plumie, roots good, never has rot or black tip. A real strong one. Scent reminds me of the freshly popped, sweet kettle corn you buy at the farmers' market. When this one gets established and happy, not only is it a generous bloomer, but it also is generous at forming tips. Branches can get really woody. Scent is a cinnamon spicy. Not a good graft host. Pink grainy, with orange/yellow center with sweet lemon fragrance. Wide oval petals of pink and white with red flecks and a yellow center. Long flowering, very deep pink grainy band on back; good texture and good keeping qualities. Tends to get fungus on old leaf scars. Sets seed.
