Metallica

From JL. (May be errors in descriptions of all 3 due to naming ...dd) found in Thailand by JL (this probably refers to the Thai Metallica???). Large individual flowers, long winged petals are a silvery-purple metallic color with a flashy orange-yellow blow-out center. First silver-purple plumeria to be introduced by Jim Little. Sweet grape gum fragrance, 3.5” with an average growth. Even without the heat looks pretty purple. Petals: elliptical with pointed tip, overlapping and twisted. Fragrance: fruity, grapes, mild and sweet. Fast grower, solid purple buds and lovely lavender petals. The fragrance is very sweet and pleasant. 4", though I have also seen a couple that were bigger. Smells like grapes. Profuse grower. The leaves are very glossy like Celadine. Bloomed with a lavender/purplish tint even without a lot of heat. Can bloom in shade. Should be grafted, low survivability on own roots. Needs lots of heat and humidity or will bloom pink. One of the few that will turn lavender in lower heat like the low to mid 80s, other wise it will like pinkish lavender. Very lanky and thin branches. Late bloomer. Poor branching. Easy to graft. Upright, fast growing. Sets seed.
