Roger and Clare, you both are welcome to Thailand and also please be my guest. There will be more and more beautiful plumerias coming from Thailand for sure.

I got a grafted Jack's Purple (having only one bud of the purple on the rootstock) early this year. That is why I said it costed me $25/bud. At that time it was still a bud with a tiny (@ 0.5 cm) leaf. I had no idea how the flower might be. It grows very slowly in my garden. I just took some photos of it recently. Below is the photo of the purple with almost a true color. As compared to the reference (my name--Kukiat-- in purple), the color of this flower is purple (to me) but with a lot of pink in it.
