Summer rains entice a new variety of Plumeria to bloom.
Abundant summer rains have helped all the Plumeria to be as healthy as possible. A new type for me, I call it Jim #4 in honor of my good friend who gave me the cutting. The first flower from this type, and I'm sharing it here. I had no idea what the color would be. For me, that's part of the enjoyment and intrigue of Plumeria.

Gorgeous! Is that plumeria alba? I bet it smells great
Thank you @kareemah. I'm not sure but I would say you're probably correct and if not that then my next vote would be obtusa. Apparently hybrids between rubra and obtusa have the rounded petals. Good question. And the smell... medium bodied succulent sweetness. Not as strong and overwhelming as some but very beautiful in it's own right. So good!
I have a plumeria pudica in my yard. Lots of lovely flowers but it doesn't have the classic strong fragrance.
They are very elegant in their shape. I have one as well. They aren't the strongest in the scent department but make up for it in uniqueness. There are others for the scent championships. So many to choose from.
And also by the way thank you @kareemah for the resteem. I really appreciate it.
@bloomview got you a 100.0% @minnowbooster upvote, nice!
