History / Story	<span class="pdb-inline-current-value">Jungle Jack's source description: Beautiful multi-colored plumeria with wonderfully scented 4" pink blooms that last forever . Lots of red veining on the overlapping petals and we love that little upturned edge. Thick cupped petals, large yellow orange center, sweet vanilla fragrance, and nice sized clusters over a very long season. Semi-compact, heavy blooming tree, even when small. This plumeria was in one of our more remote fields and somehow we overlooked it. We think you'll be as delightfully surprised as we were.</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.
