Not necessarily. I asked why, on the Plumeria Forum, sometime back... here is the response I got:

"Bob- the plumeria has more genes than humans which gives it a very large potential for variations. If the flower is self pollinated the variation is less whereas a cross pollination gives a greater variation. Also, if a self pollinated flower is a product of a cross pollination you have greater variation than if it was a product of another self pollination. In other words, you need over four dozen genes to match for a plant to be just like mom. In my experience, between 50% and 75% of the seeds in a pod will look close to the mom plant but may have variations in thickness, smell, shape, color, size, flower production, etc. Whites and yellows produce fewer other colors unless they are a mix (like Cindy Moragne). Reds, pinks and rainbows produce more variations. It is the complex genetics that give such a potential for something to vary. Bill"

Hope this answers your question,

Bob

Tj,

I bought some seeds and was given the same info on them as bob shared. You never know how they may turn out. I have some seedlings in the gh. The seeds were taken from victoria princess but they will not be that. I hope that is not confusing...LOL
