I believe this is a Plumeria celadine

Any plumeria experts out there can confirm that for me. I has a real pleasant scent.

Thanks

Ric, I believe Celadine has wider petals which are more overlapped, but yours is beautiful no matter what it is. Did you know that Dave's has its own plumeria forum now? Go check it out! Here are some identifying pictures of Celadine: http://www.plumeria101.com/master_gallery/celadine.html

Hi Doc, Yes, the smell wonderful. Some smell stronger than others, and each variety has a different fragrance depending upon the chemical makeup of the flower. Some have what is referred to as a Frangipani or classic plumeria fragrance; some smell like coconut suntan oil; some smell like roses; some smell like citrus blossoms; some smell like gardenias; some have a spicy scent; some have a fruity scent; and the list goes on.
