Jungle Jack's "Jackie" plumeria
One of my favorite out of my collection i Jackie. I love how this one changes with the temperature and humidity. The petals will curl at the peak of our Arizona summers.

First bloom of the season from Jungle Jack's Divine plumeria, considered a miniature plumeria.
Jungle Jack's Desert Sunrise plumeria
I love the unusual coloration on this - a beautiful pastel combination of soft pink, salmon, and peach. I ordered this from Jungle Jack's Plumerias last year, and these are my first blooms. Large flowers and a sweet fragrance with a hint of coconut.
Jungle Jack's Jackie (Plumeria rubra)
Jackie is quite the chameleon according to heat and humidity, but I love all her looks. These pictures start with May blooms and end with August (110 temps) here in Arizona.
