History / Story<span class="pdb-inline-current-value">Jungle Jack's source description: We've seen a lot of plumerias, and for one to take our breath away like this one did it has to be very, very special. Truly spectacular plumeria that blooms in a 4" whirlpool of orange, pink and white, accented with burgundy tips. Very attractive foliage is thick and glossy. Semi-compact to medium growth habit and thick wood. Medium thick flowers in very dense clusters. Excellent perfume scent. Incredible coloration, large clusters, lovely scent - this one has it all, and it will indeed leave you obsessed.</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.
