What variety is this?

last modified: 9 years ago

I've been growing Plumeria for three years now. I got interested in them after a trip to Hawaii. There were two varieties in particular that caught my eye (and nose). Plumeria Obtusa and a type I haven't identified yet. I've attached a picture below. It looks like Kauka Wilder but I'm not sure. It smelled exactly like coconuts. Nearly every description I've found of Kauka Wilder's smell says it's either sweet or fruity. I've found a couple of references to it smelling like coconut and the flowers I smelled were purely coconut smell, not fruity or sweet. I'm unsure why there is a discrepancy about the scent. Any ideas?
