Terry your very welcome .......I miss my G=parents as they both have passed many yeas ago .....but the memories of "working/playing" in the lath house and gardens always bring a smile to my face......and yes I'm very proud of G~ma's Flower and registered name. As an only child and no kids myself ... it shall be the "legacy " of our families name . Both G-parents served on the board of directors for the E-club and world renown about growing these and we have donated hundreds of plants to the San Diego Zoo . Between my father and myself we still own an extensive collection. (hint hint ....."cuttings
) I'm so happy so see someone post one. The blooms can be incredible and HUGE the downside is they only last about 24 hours .....
Thanks for sharing your beautiful flower!

"Celadine" I believe is the name of that one .....other wise known as Also known as Hawaiian Yellow or Graveyard Plumeria. This plumeria has large flowers with a big yellow center that fades to a creamy white at the tips. Blooms are about 3 1/2 inches. Strong lemon fragrance and excellent keeping quality. A very common and easy to root species.
I think it has a light sweet smell, not a lemony one

Some fun Plumeria Trivia facts ......
The frangipani is the national tree of Laos, where it is called dok jampa. It is regarded as a sacred tree in Laos and every Buddhist temple in that country has them planted in their courtyards. Many of the trees are hundreds of years old and are spectacular, huge, gnarled giants.
