Please correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is that the Scott Pratt is the ultimate historical plumeria variety in America. It was the first plumeria registered by the PSA. Enough history. This plant is a vigorous grower, a great bloomer, and (for a red) is easy to root.
After 6 yr., my opinion of Scott Pratt's rooting tendencies has changed. I would now label this variety "difficult to root". I had seed-pods on one of my two plants this summer (2021), but the pods aborted within a month. My understanding is that this variety rarely will grow seed-pods and that there has never been an instance of those pods maturing with viable seeds.
I only have the one plant, Hetty, and it came from you two years ago. It has now been in bloom for two months and is multi-tipped. These cut flowers are nicely fragrant and last about twice as long as any other plumeria flower I have, some 12 varieties. The leaves are huge on this plant, easily 20" long and 6" wide.
This hybrid of Plumeria pudica has a superior growth habit, larger leaves and larger flowers than its parent. Unfortunately, it still doesn't have a scent.
This plant is sometimes sold as 'Pink Pudica' or 'Thai Pink Pudica'. There are several crosses that claim the name 'Pink Pudica', but this one is superior to the others. It is a very compact grower, and is impervious to rust.
This profusely blooming variety was found by me growing in a yard in Old Naples. The kind lady allowed me to take a cutting so it is now in my collection too, ensuring its survival.
Very often, Princess Victoria is shown with "color break," which is a virus-induced phenomenon. There is no proof that this variety displays this more often than others.
