This was one of my 4 first ever plumeria cuttings, purchased from Upland Nursery. I ordered Kimo, Nebel's Rainbow, Puu Kahea and Hawaiian Large White. Kimo didn't make it. This one was labeled as Hawaiian Large White, which it most obviously isn't! I thought maybe the tags got mixed up but it doesn't look like Nebel or Puu Kahea to me. I have inflos on those two as well but it will be awhile before they open. Any ideas what this might be from Upland?

Petals aren't exceptionally thick. Fragrance is light and fruity similar to Penang Peach.

What were temps like when it bloomed. Hot or cool? How large in diameter is the flower?

It looks most similar in shape to a Puu Kahea of all those you listed. And PK is changeable in color with temps. Possibly Cal Sally.

But really there are so many varieties!

Perhaps someone familar with Upland can help you.

Maybe you can email pic of bloom to Upland for their help.

Thank you! Temps are in the low to mid 70s here. Flower is around 2.5 inches. Do veins ever appear on varieties that don't always have them? That is what was throwing me off. Very few pics on Upland's site show prominent veining. I will see if they have an email address to send a photo to.
