The size of this flower along with the fragrance makes it a must have for any collector in my opinion. I keep picking the flowers for my elderly neighbor, and she just loves them.
Lemon Chiffon
Oh, it's beautiful... does it smell likes lemons??
Thanks, Brittany. I would say it is close to a lemon blossom;-)
Very pretty and that is a trait that it folds its pedals back? I think I have this one does have a great scent strong and sweet.
Hi Dana, yes, the scent is strong and sweet. The petals curve backwards, and there is no overlap either.
I love it, it's very open... great coloring too... very partial to the classic white/yellow combo :)
Me too! This is a perfect one to wear behind the ear too.
does it last nicely once picked?? granted it's hotter than heck here, so not too much lasts here once picked... but it's always nice to know which ones have a better "picked" life, for lack of a better term...

Brittany, I gave a flower to my neighbor, and she said it lasted about a week once picked. That's very good "keeping quality" for a plumeria flower.
lol... thank you... "keeping quality"... at 2am I was not thinking too straight... that's great keeping quality...
Brittany
LOL! No worries, Mate! This has become a favorite of mine.
I pick one of these for everyone who visits me, and I gave an extra plant to my neighbor. The fragrance is great.

i loved this one! i like the waxy, thick flowers and the fragrance is like wow! i will have to get one again someday. thanks for posting clare.
You definitely need this one, Dete! LOL! A few summers ago, I put a flower behind my ear, and then I forgot it was there as I sat among my plumies and talked with friends. I kept smelling it and thought "Where is that great fragrance coming from?" And then I remembered. Duh! LOL!
clare we can't be having senior moments, yet. : ) LOL
Yeah, we're too young for senior moments! It must have been a blond moment from my sun-bleached hair!
we'll claim that one then! haha!
