@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.
