Let get not from garish colours seduce!
Mr Meyer, 2 years ago I bought a plumeria on ebay that was supposed to flower green. This year it has now flowered but only white / yellow. Have I done something wrong?
We often receive such and similar enquiries. Many customers are unsure or ask whether we already offer black and white, blue and blue-orange plants in our shop.
Können wir leider nicht, WEIL ES DIESE FARBEN NICHT GIBT!
Ich habe schon oft vor solchen Fake Farben auf verschiedenen Plattformen gewarnt aber leider fallen jedes Jahr wieder Kunden auf diesen Betrug rein.
If you see a Plumeria flower in an unusual colour, do not strike immediately, but contact us. We can then tell you whether such a colour or colour combination even exists for a Plumeria rubra.
A non-existent Plumeria rubra colour combination
Examples for colour combinations the it not exist
Here we have created a few examples of typical colours that are offered on the platforms and that do not exist.
If you have bought frangipani seeds of such varieties, we can hereby point out to you again the heredity in Plumeria seeds.
If you have bought cuttings, you may get a seedling or a mini-cuttling that is guaranteed to flower only in 2-3 years and then it will be too late to complain about the purchase.
Which Flower colours are there there really?
In the genetic material of the Plumeria there are certain "safe" colours from which a new colour combination (in seeds) can develop. These "basic colours" are almost 95% always present.
- white
- yellow
- red
In addition to the colours, the growth habit, the scent and the flower shape of a Plumeria are also inherited, but unfortunately (in the case of Plumeria seeds) only up to a maximum of 50%.
