Cuttings Changing Color

20 years ago

Do plumerias change color when planted from a cutting? I didnÂt think they would but I brough 5 cuttings from California to So Florida. They were dark red and had a faint scent of cinnamon. Now one cutting is giving flowers that are rainbow-like with a lot more white, some yellow and the scent has changed. They are now a lot more soapy and fresh smelling; the scent is beautiful. Is this possible?

By the way, the plumeria beside it is yellow with big flowers and a scent of peaches. Recently I noticed that some of the flowers on this bush showed light pink on the edges and this too was a first. What is going on? Is there an explanation? Is there cross pollination, or are the roots too close and somehow combining the plants underground?

Confused, perplexed but happy.

I do miss my dark red/black plumeria though.

Please help.

Could it be lack of fertilizer, too much water, pests?
