Plumeria varieties often receive their names based on their unique characteristics, parentage, or the name of the breeder or discoverer. For example, a Plumeria variety with striking red flowers may be named “Crimson Beauty,” while one with a sweet fragrance may be called “Honey Scent.” Breeders may also name new varieties after themselves, such as “Smith’s Delight” if bred by a person named Smith. Additionally, some varieties are named to honor special events or people, adding a sentimental or commemorative aspect to the naming process. The names of Plumeria varieties are used to distinguish and market them within the horticultural and gardening community.
