This is a first bloom on a plant that I grew from seed. The seeds came from Plumeria 'Princess Victoria'. This isn;t a stunner by any means, but then you never know what you will get with seed grown plants. Barely pink with a slightly darker blush around the edge, yellow center

Gina1960: It's a stunner to me!!! One of these years! Cheers! PS. How tall a plant is it, and is it potted or in the ground?

Frank, its in the ground. Its about 3 feet. I have several plants that I am growing from seeds, that I have been waiting for them to bloom. Its always a surprise what can come out. Once I had seeds from my Hilo Beauty which is a deep red, and the seedling bloomed completely yellow!

Beauty to me as well! Waiting for mine to bloom from a cutting 4 years after purchasing. Forgot what I bought back then (bought 3, only 1 survived), so it will be a surprise to me as well!

I have a few non-bloomed seedlings from Princess Victoria seeds. You may recall several years ago it was a 'plant of the moment', one of those that went viral, supposedly the first plumeria with variegated flowers. I got a cutting as a trade and grew its it bloomed and indeed I did get a few variegated flowers. The plant kind of declined in popularity because the variegation was not stable and was very variable. But it seemed to set seeds quite easily. Still waiting....I have bloom spikes on 2 others so it will be a surprise.
