That JC plumeria is ridiculous. It's pink for crying out loud!!
All those people that think they can keep a Plumeria rare (and I include Jim Little in this) by making it expensive forget ONE important thing... once a single cutting is out of their hands they no longer have control over it. The Thai growers will take a 6" piece of stick and make a dozen or more plants from it through bud grafting.
Incidentally Alan Bunch of Exotic Plumeria has for years sold 'Confetti' (a re-name of Barbados Showgirl) for $ 149 a cutting....
I think people like this are just being greedy.
And Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...
