One of the first cultivars created by Carol and Luc Vannoorbeeck. One of the first trees planted in the Grove in 1993. Named for a Mayor of one of the Puerto Rico islands. Seedling of Aztec Gold. 4-5" yellow with a good mixture of pink and white. Reddish veins throughout. Good fragrance. Vigorous and leggy grower. A fantastic cultivar if grown very dry. Big fat blooms can barely hold up their heads in the rain. This is a lovely plumeria, and a great bloomer. Beautiful, pastel rainbow of pink, yellow, and white. As the large 3.5-4” flowers age, fades to a soft, pale almost white color while the center remains infused with gold and orange streaks. Sometimes the flowers will look almost yellow with just a hint of pink. Slightly scented. Heavy bloomer. Good mixture of pink and white. Reddish veins throughout. Branch tips are pubescent. It is light pink shade with vertical stripes of color.The right edge is pink then going toward center is creamy to yellow, with vivid orange center. The pink is on the back, so in light it’s a soft pink, smell is heavenly. It reminds me of a strong rich rose scent. Sets seed. Margaret's Pink similar to Evalani. Mauve pink color and really thick petals.
