Please help ID this plumeria

10 years ago

Hello,

I'm new here even though I've been reading and learning a lot from this forum for quite sometime now. I'm always a lover of plumerias since I came from Vietnam and I've been a novice plumeria grower since my Mother in Law gifted me a cutting many years ago. Few days ago I've read in a post that jandey1 and Laura stated that Maverick has fuzzy branches, I was so happy that I may find a name for my plummie, but it wasn't to be since mine didn't have 6 or 7 petals. Would the plumerias pros here help me identify this for me or maybe point me to a closely match type?

Fuzzy branch and end of leaves

, feel like velvet.

Thank you. I appreciate all information.

She is a beauty !! Congratulations ...

Heat also brings out the splashes on trees... My Princess Victoria has been blooming all summer with only hints of any splash ...

Your tree does look similar and I would continue to call it ' looks like...' You have beautiful coloration on these blooms and I love the one picture that displays three different looks...

Bravo!!

The closest match to that would be Princess Victoria however impossible to say for certain because it could be just similar looking with a color break. I would not call it Princess Victoria but more like looks closely like Princess Victoria if that makes sense.

I love it when they have the fuzzy branches, some will and some won't. Same with more or less petals - sometimes they could bloom with 6 or only 4 but the most common is 5.

Good luck and look forward to seeing more pictures from you!

Thank you, Elucas101, for give me a pointer. I do some search and reading about Princess Vitoria on this forum I found this:

"JOEY_ROSSELLI(8BSE)

IT LOOKS LIKE SOME KIND OF COMMON PINK BUT IN ONE OF YOUR PICTURES I SEE A SPLOTCH OF RED ON BACK OF ONE OF THE FLOWERS.WATCH IT BECAUSE YOU MAY HAVE A WILD RENEGADE COLOR BREAK PINK ONE SIMILIAR TO THE "Princess Victoria'....EXCEPT FOR THE SCENT WHICH YOU SAID WAS FRUITIE/LEMON.THE VICTORIA I HAVE HAS A BABY POWDER SCENT AND IS FUZZY WHEN DORMANT.THE NEW GROWTH IS FUZZY AS WELL."

This is good since I root some cuttings for my sister for her backyard. She like to google to find out what flower's color she will have. I will put notes with the plant like " this one looks like ..." so when my parents bring them to her she will have some ideas.

I have only about 10 different types of plumeria, all unnamed except DSP and some of them now only have small inflos. The only one that is open is the one above and it only have one lonely flower. So there no new picture to post :) .

All the ones I have are all tall types except the DSP and they are all so tall and heavy now that I can hardly bring them into the garage. Last year I started to trim them down hoping they will stay short but they kept get very long branches before the bloom so I'm looking into to get some dwaft or compact varieties maybe next year.

Again thank you for your expertise.

Update on my PV look alike.

I'm lucky this year. It gave me 3 inflos, all of them gave out beautiful red mark.
