Brad i was going to say it lol but you beat me..
Clare wonderful pics and thanks for the smell tidbits..
I think the smell is very important because it tells me how the plumies responds to different
climates..
Clare your key west pink smells like a miami rose?
My so called miami rose doesn't smell like suntan lotion anyways :)

Thank you for sharing the great pictures Clare!
I especially like the petals on the Spidey Yellow.

Thanks, Robert and Dave! Here are a few more. This is Marion B. She smells lovely and sweet and has vibrant colors.

Tahitian Sunset again; very mild jasmine fragrance.

Sorry, duplicate post.

Spidery Yellow; just a very slight sweet fragrance.

Samoan Fluff; very strong classic plumeria fragrance.

Great pics Clare, keep them coming...

Thanks, Dave! The heat here is really bringing out the deepest colors for sure. Here is Tahitian Sunset yesterday.

Marion B.:

This is an unknown:

Penang Peach:

Spidery Yellow:

'Celadine':

'Playful':

This is an Adenium seedling flower:

Last one for today: 'Noble Concubine' is starting to bloom again:-)

Thanks Clare,
Is that a colorbreak on your "Playful"?

I hope not:-) I don't think it is. I'll keep an eye on it though. Sometimes, random streaks like this occur in flowers occasionally.

Brad, check out Tahitian Sunset now! Now it looks like FC's picture. It is the faded blooms that they have pictured, and boy do they look different than the blooms when they first open. This is an amazing flower.
