Queen Amber plumeria
I love Queen Amber for its unique coloration.
Plumerias change with heat and this Queen Amber is showing a little more pink this week with the high temps.
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.
