History / Story	<span class="pdb-inline-current-value">Jungle Jack's source description: This might be our most famous `lost' plumeria. The good news is we've found it, and you'll want this one in your collection. Stunning 3-4" red, orange, pink and yellow plumeria. Painted appearance on the thick petals. In cool weather, the flowers resemble Jenny, and with a little bit of heat, the orange center pops and gorgeous mottling appears. Wonderful strong floral scent. Prolific, very reliable bloomer. Strong semi-compact to medium grower, and a great bloomer with lovely foliage.</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.
