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.

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.

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.
