Plumeria rubra RED MOONLIGHT
[X* P-53]
[ Apocynaceae ]
Good substance flowers on flower-heads with multiple buds. Variable, intense coloring and nice fragrance. 2.5" ( 6.50 cm ) average diameter flowers of red, purplish pink and orange, emerging from blood-red flower-buds.
With increasing heat and sunlight this variety tends to have increasingly red flowers. During the tropical raining season however, there is a tendency towards a lighter colored background, decorated with intense red striations.
Petals: slightly overlapping, obovate with slightly pointed tip. Blood-red and purplish-pink, increasingly orange-red towards base.
Fragrance: honey-coconut, medium to strong
