Historic Hawaii breeding collection
Moragne Collection
A reference grouping for plumeria grown from seed or introduced by Bill Moragne.
About This Collection
The Moragne hybrids are historically important because Bill Moragne's crosses produced many well-known named plumeria. As records are modernized, parentage, registration notes, and verified photos should be handled carefully so the collection history remains useful.
Plumeria Collection grown from seed or introduced by Bill Moragne. More than twenty years after the crosses were made, recollections are also vague about how many flowers Moragne actually attempted to pollinate. It is well documented that he harvested seed from the pods of four flowers and from them produced 283 seedlings, naming his favorites for his wife, “Jean Sr.”; daughters Mary, Sally and Katie; daughter-in-law “Jean Jr.”; and granddaughters Cindy, Kimi, Julie, Edi, Cathy, and.
Collection pages preserve history and source context. Individual cultivar traits, AKAs, parentage, photos, and review notes belong on the cultivar record pages.
