This is a pod-sibling of 'Ammaron's Curly White' and quite similar in appearance. Sariah's Curly Pink is a superior bloomer in my experience; it is also a prolific seed-setter.

This Jim Little variety from Hawaii should not be confused with Plumeria pudica, which is sometimes referred to as 'Bridal Bouquet.'

The trunk of this Plumeria is characterized by protruding leaf nodes.

The leaf petioles on this species are extremely short, making it easy to identify.

The scent of this Plumeria species is almost irresistible. Reminiscent of Gardenia, and extremely strong.

The blooms of Plumeria rubra are extremely fragrant, but interestingly each variety or cultivar has a unique scent. This can range from fruity, to sweet floral, to intense gardenia-like. Occasionally a variety will have a less than pleasant odor, but most Plumeria blooms are delightfully scented. Some of the most fragrant varieties are 'Vera Cruz Rose' (rose-like scent), 'Mary Helen Eggenberger' (smells like sour candy), Makaha Sunn (strong floral fragrance, one of the best!) and Aztec Gold (smells of ripe peaches).
