@Klauds, There obviously is a cultivar with that name. However, be careful what you buy. I notice that quite a few people advertise 'seeds' of this cultivar, and they do not come true from seed so I would certainly not pay big money for those seeds.
There are a number of very dark red Plumeria if that is what you are looking for. Darkest of all is 'Heart of the Night' which is a cultivar created by Dr. Kukiat Tanteeratarm in Thailand. I have seen the tree myself. However, it is still only in very limited distribution.

Yes, like I said, I have seen the Mother tree with my own eyes. Yes, in Thailand.
I was merely using this cultivar as an illustration of a very dark red plumeria, in case that is what you were looking for. There are many, many pictures of fake plumeria on the internet, so it's good to do your homework (like asking if a certain cultivar really exists - which is what you did!! Thumbs up )
