Plumeria cv ‘Reddish Moragne’

P. ‘Reddish Moragne’ is one of the famous Moragne hybrids produced by the late Mr. William Moragne, Sr. of Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii during the 1950s. After nearly twenty years of experiments, Mr. Moragne performed the first documented cross pollenation of Plumeria rubra varieties. The results are some of the most spectacular plumeria cultivars known. This cultivar is not yet named and is refered to by a designation.

The specimen evaluated was not being watered as frequently as necessary for healthy growth, our measurements are therefore suspect.
