Hi everyone, I have several plants now and I'm trying to ID them. I know there are only one or two pictures so bear with me. Im in south east Texas on the coast so we have plenty of hot summers and mostly mild winters. For those months I keep all my plumeria in the garage.

Pink Perfection? This is my first one and what got me into growing plumeria. I have several cuttings from it now.

Orange Shade? Mine has 6 petals and not 5 so I'm not sure. Can the same species have 5 and 6 petals?

Plumeria Pudeca or P. Isabella?

The rest of the bunch that haven't flowered. Most here are from seeds.

Beautiful plumeria collection but I am not very good in ID. @teamcll and @drdawg may be able to help.

The 6 petals are rare but it happens sometimes.
Intense Rainbow has rounded petals:

@sucker76, I'll begin by saying that it is basically impossible to identify a plumeria variety by seeing photos of flowers. Sometimes the flowers might be unique or the leaves unique, and those few varieties can be identified. Oddly enough, the uniqueness will more often be in the leaves than in the flowers. Celadine can be identified by the lateral veining in her leaves and Pudica can be identified by her leaf shape (as well as non-fragrant flowers). The plant you thought might be Pudica definitely isn't Pudica. Wrong leaf form. Here's the flower and leaves of Pudica.

There are now so many plumeria varieties that many flowers resemble each other. Add to that the fact that the flowers of a variety can change from season to season and year to year. Look at the 2nd and 3rd photos. These are flowers of the same plant but the flowering is of different years. As I said, flowers can be extremely similar but be of different varieties. Check out the 4th and 5th photos.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
