Actually if you go to google images and type in Plumeria Maui beauty there is a picture that looks exact to yours. The one issue when trying to identify plants is that unless your there to see, measure, smell the flowers than it is hard to get an exct ID. Also depending on your growing conditions even if it were a Maui Beauty it might look different than a Maui beauty grown in Hawaii, Florida, etc. I remember about 4yrs ago there were people buying Daisy WIlcox from 2 nurseries, one in Southern Florida and the other nursery was here in Corona CA., only to find out that they were not actually DW. To be honest the nursery here in Corona, CA actually had bought their original stock from the nusery in South Florida. Well some of the complaints were that the flowers were not blooming big enough to be DW, the other one was that it was to colorful to be DW. Well a Southern California Plumeria Society Member in San Diego had some of the other Board members and I believe Bud Guillot by her house and they all concurred that her plant was not a DW. Basically my point is that mistakes can happen especially with plant ID's no matter who you are. Unless you can find someone who is 100 percent sure of what it is i would just appreciate and admire the flower and plant for their beauty..

Hi there!!! It is so difficult to identify a variety by a picture.. I know you would like to know what this beauty is, but so many mislabel trees and then the trees are sent along there way without the right label... What ever named or un named tree you have, it is a beauty!!! If you don't really know where you purchased it from or have any idea.. We tend to label it a Noid . Say you purchased it in Kauai.. It was given to you as a " pink". some of us would label it as a " Noid Kauai". So you remember where it came from. Enjoy your beautiful bloom.. Maybe someone will have some idea as to what you have.. I have one that I love and was sold to me from a nursery in Florida.. After it bloomed and I posted it here... i was graciously told that it wasn't what it was labeled. I was bummed that I was sold something that was not the true cultivar.. So i took the tag off of the tree and placed a new tag on the tree and labeled it " Possible VV". Because it looks like a beautiful bloom . I can't call it what I think it is since it wasn't a cutting from the truly named tree. Good luck!! Congratulations on a lovely tree!! :-) Take care, Laura

Dave in NoVa. Your idea about staking directly close to and behind the frangipani is a good one, and was actually the first thing we tried - our soil is simply too loose and sandy, the stakes worked their way loose and kept falling over rather than taking any load. As for the palm tree, I tested the frond before attaching it. That close to the trunk the frond is very rigid and hardly moves at all - even when I bounce the frond quite vigorously, that particular part of the frond goes up and down by a maximum of 1" (sideways is negligible). The thing I have to keep an eye on is when that frond is due to self-clean (there are two fronds that will fall off before its turn and now that summer is over, that shouldn't happen until at least November).

Hi everyone! Thank you for all the responses! And a special thank you to the_first_kms2. The mother plant was pink pansy! Amazingly, the flower pictured has a very subtle grape aroma. Have any of you grown Plumeria from seed where the resulting plant was identical to its parent? Chao Anh Andre! It's very nice to meet you! I have family in San Diego and go there on occasion for visits. I am in the Fort Worth, TX area. :)
