Excellent; looks a bit like my Spider Rainbow or it could be Candy Stripe - it sometimes curls back like that.

how's the smell??

Mulberry, FL

Regular Plumeria scent I think it came from Hawaii last year as a cutting. It does look like yours Hetty from your picture they look like a good size to the flowers. Looking at the weather tonight we might be in for it weather wise Fays coming to kick our plants around.

i wish she would kick some of mine.... then there wouldnt be a drought in the upstate and we could have fresh SC peaches (the best kind) wishful thinking i guess...

That's very pretty, Dana. It reminds me of 'Hawaiian Flag.'

I would love to send you some we have had plenty here. Night before last 1.5 and it comes in 20 minutes there is no more nice easy rain. Ground here is already soaked if this does turn hurricane it will be bad.

yeah it wouldnt be too good if it hit here as a hurricane, but i was thinking more of the upstate. we just had 3" a few days ago and if a hurricane hit hilton head, it would cut the island in two. this place is flat and swampy... like florida so yeah.... maybe we could just get the drought relief some other way in the upstate.

That's a pretty ginger, Dana. Mine are blooming now too.

Another shot color may be better. Thanks I really like the gingers I went crazy with them this year next year should be neat to see all the different ones. I grew the pineapple picked a few today there ripe

That definitely looks a lot like 'Hawaiian Flag' to me. Here's a picture to show you for comparison that belongs to Gabby.

'Candy Stripe' is similar too as Hetty said, but I think it has more rounded petals, but you know what they say about identification from a picture so who knows!

Thats it the pedals are ruffled not smooth back side looks like candy stripe with out the orange. To look at it though you would think this plants a common white solid green stalk. the only sign is red spots on leaves. Not plumeria but this is a cool plant don't know the name of it but it started out burgundy color leaves and this color just washed down it
