Anecdotal Notes
Petals slightly overlapping, pointed with slightly wavy margin, lilac over bluish-mauve background, turning to orange and gold towards center. Fragrance: medium to strong, reminiscent of perfume, Leaves: medium green with light green veining, elliptical, pointed tip. It is hard to describe the color, maybe pinkish purple, with a dark red/orange center. One of the strongest and most pleasant scents, even any of the whites and yellows. One of the first purplish pink plumerias from Thailand. In the heat of the summer the 3" with yellow orange center get a little pink heat splash. Profuse bloomer, has bloomed multiple times this season with huge bouquets. Very strong plumeria scent. 3"+. It has a slow growth habit, and produces two to three branches each time it flowers. A beautiful violet background flower with white veins spreading over the petals and 2" to 3". Wide oval petals, moderate overlapping with heavy substance and perfect forming. Remarkable golden yellow-orange dusted in the center. The rim is twisted with a wavy margin. Sweet and mild fragrance. Medium growth rate and branched 1-3 times each time it has flowered. The color is not as "Purple" as Muang Jack, it is more of a "purple red" (which I believe is the translation).The branches are pretty thick. A consistent bloomer. Blooming twice in one normal growing season and once overwinter in the greenhouse. Intense, sweet fragrance that I can smell when I opened the greenhouse doors in the morning. Sibling of Purple Jack. Variable levels of purple and always have a throat glow that seems unreal. Can bloom on new tips. Starts out purple, fades to lavender then a bluish gun-metal gray before dropping. Redpurple throat appears to glow. Broad upright with medium growth. Sets seed.
