Yellow Plumeria ID Needed!

Hello All,

I am a newbie on the forum here, but was hoping that some one could help me identify one of my Plumerias. I bought it as a 'Yellow' Plumeria. They did not know the name. I now have 6 of these plants that are all blooming in pots along with the two in my yard.

The flowers are between 2½ to 3 inches wide - closer to 2½". They have very lite pink vines on the back side/edges; the buds are pink until they open. And smell almost like a Gardenia (at least to my nose). :o)

I have looked online for the name of these. Caledine is too much yellow, Nebuls Gold has a little too much white on the edges. I thought maybe Mellow Yellow, but I'm not sure. The shade of yellow is a bit different and the buds on it are yellow/white. Aztec Gold fits in color and shape of flower leaves are very close, buds the same color, but the flowers are bigger than mine and though I tried, I don't really think mine smell like peaches.

What do you wonderful grower's think?

Thanks, BJ

Here's a picture of an opening bud on the left....

could be a seedling from a named one in that case mihjy noy be a name i am not big on the names very pretty flower and very nice scent thats good enough for me ;) This one has a 4 inch flower

Aside from your comment about the fragrance I would have said Aztec Gold.

the petals seemed somewhat rounder than aztec gold. that's a tough one. personally, i'd just go with 'yellow' plumeria. LOL if they don't come with names i don't bother looking for an id.

See what happens when you type in the dark lol Don't have a name for this one either just the same nice flower good scent

Very likely Miami Rose. Another common Florida variety and also known under a few other names. Great scent.

I would guess Aztec Gold or a seedling of Aztec Gold, which is more likely. There are so many unnamed seedlings out there and only a few hundred with official names. I too would just go with yellow. I agree with Dete that unnamed varieties should remain so to keep the integrity of the trees.

Dana, I would guess Key West Pink on yours due to the solid green inflo stem. I think Miami Rose is very similar looking but with a red inflo stem. It could be a seedling also. Too hard to tell from pictures.
