Hi there - just wondering if anyone can help me id this plumeria. I originally got it as Maui Beauty - maybe its a seedling of it or something else.
Thanks!
Help to id Plumeria
Heres another photo
I don't recognize it as being a named cultivar. It is pretty though. Here's a link on identification from the FAQ's Sticky Thread: http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/687547/
Thanks Clare - makes sense.....
Did you get that off Ebay? From Maui Gal?
Actually got it from a friend....... I think I might like it better then what it was supposed to be :)
To me it looks like the Princess Victoria without the breaks..
The PV does not break all the time especially if the plant is healthy and not stress..
Nope, it's not Princess Victoria -- wrong petal shape and shading. This one has more overlap and wider, rounder petals. This is PV below. If anything, it resembles J.L. Pink Pansy, but the petal shape is off slightly even from that one.
The reason I asked where it came from is I recently purchased a few cuttings under the same name from Maui Gal. The picture I was shown is different. Here s the Maui Beauty I received.

Davie, that's a pretty one. I'm fairly sure that all of hers are unknowns or NOID's and that the names are made up. I'm still waiting on her 'Almost Black' to bloom. The inflo is a really dark purple.
Clare-I know, you are right, they are her names. I will say this though. The cuttings I have gotten from her are true to the pictures she posts on Ebay. So far all of the cuttings she has sent have rooted easily. The flowers have been great. The rainbow, yellow, and red in the AZ grown thread have all come from her. Here is another of the rainbow.
Clare, very dark so far, nice pic.

Nice pics! Its amazing how different the colors are with different cameras. Here is a photo of the same plummie a week earlier with a different camera (which that broke and I bought a new one).
Any new ideas??
Nah not the Pink Pansy either...
Did you buy this from Matt?
Kinda looks like his Kealakekua Beauty
PS
Clare I thought you retired?
Gosh lopaka, I hope she doesn't-don't you? She has such great info for us all. You know a woman can change her mind any time she wants....right??? lol
Nah... it was given to me by a friend.... do you have a photo of Kealakekua Beauty?
Here is a photo of the KB..
Oh wow - that really looks like it. It would be interesting to compare the fragrance. Is the Kealakekua Beauty offically named or one of Matts seedlings? Sorry for my ignorance - who's Matt? Be patient with me ;)
Davie, that is a nice picture. I had trouble rooting some of her cuttings, and I lost a few. I ended up grafting some of the others that wouldn't root. I hope I still have her green-striped one. I'm glad to hear that her cultivars come true to the pics. I have a couple more of hers that will bloom soon. I think I bought 20 from her last summer. I'll post again when the 'Almost Black' blooms.
LOL, Thanks, Terry. Your posts always make me smile. I haven't changed my mind -- I'm just doing it on my own time frame. You'll be seeing less and less of me here soon.
Robert, I'm getting there. I'm home this week with back pain so I'm not doing much of anything. By the way, Matt makes up a lot of his names too, and with thousands of seedlings out there, identification from a picture is nearly impossible to make and shouldn't be done, in my opinion, to preserve the gene pool.
Smartlung, Matt is a plumeria collector and enthusiast that moved to Hawaii from San Diego a year or more ago, and he has a pruning/landscaping business now in Hawaii, and he sells cuttings that he collects on the island. As I said, 99.9% of the ones he sells are unnamed/unregistered seedlings so he makes up a name when he sells them. Someone else in Hawaii could be doing the very same thing (making up different names) with the same cultivars so this is a good way to cause name confusion with names that aren't even official or recognized.
Take it easy Clare...
;=)
Smartlung here is another one called Tina!
Man that ones close too! I leaning towards the other one........ of course will never know ;)
