It looks a little bit like C-Stars 'Cancun Dreams,' but it is very difficult to match a cultivar name to a picture without comparing all the characteristics of the plant as Michael said. Since the name isn't known, it shouldn't be sold or traded as a named plumeria.

I know C-Stars supplies the Home Depot's in Southern California, but I think there might be a different supplier in Northern California. It doesn't surprise me what you said about some of the plumerias looking like death if C-Stars was the supplier. Their greenhouses are extraordinary hot so they use a mix which stays wet, and some of their cuttings rot in their greenhouses because of this. When they get watered daily by Home Depot in not so hot conditions, they rot as well. I've seen many a sad-looking Home Depot plumie from C-Stars. They really ought to change their mix. I too have rescued a few;-)

That's a lovely container. I hope it isn't too heavy to bring inside for the winter;-) Here's my 'Cancun Dreams' for comparison.
