Great bloomer!
Bought this one last year. I have a large number of different potted plumerias, several young plants bought last year. This year, Father Damien was the first one to bud, and blooming with many flowers now. Flower scent does remind me of roses, and the color is just like the picture. And I am growing them in New England, with our short summers!
