In order for you to have new colors your plumeria needs to produce seedpods. I am not exactly sure how my plumerias are getting seedpods but I think I have a lot of beneficial insects that cross polinated them. The flowers alone do not have seeds on their own.

The seedpods will look like this:



Once you see a seedpod like this, you have to wait for it to ripen (8 mos to more than a year depending on the variety).
thanks alot
The seeds will look like this. Some would have less seeds. If you buy seeds. This is what the seeds will look like:



The seeds will not come true to the parent and so that's how you create new colors.
