| History / Story | <span class="pdb-inline-current-value">Jungle Jack's source description: As soon as we saw this for the first time we knew something special was happening. These flowers simply glow and the clusters are among the densest of any of our plumerias. A truly spectacular bloom; my dad and I rate it as one of our top 2-3 after decades of selective breeding. Huge, thick 4-5", blood-orange/mango color with extensive veins radiating from a deep red, almost black, heart. Heat and sunlight levels will vary the rich coloration from apricot to vibrant ruby to strong orange. Handles heat and sun very well. Great strong fragrance.</span> <div class="pdb-inline-tools"><details class="pdb-inline-suggest pdb-inline-login-gate"><summary>Suggest correction</summary><div class="pdb-inline-panel"><p>To suggest a change, please log in or create a contributor account.
