Wishy Washy aka Cooktown Queen Plumeria

Wishy Washy A 3 1/2″- 4” Rainbow flower. Originally named Wishy-Washy because of its unusual habit of color change due to cooler or warmer temperatures. Flowers that open in warmer weather are a deep, sizzling pink with a swirl of gold, orange, and red in the center. However, those that open in cooler weather are a total, yet very pretty pastel. On days of fluctuating weather, one sees flowers of such variance together on the same inflorescence. A great blooming Australian variety.

Wishy Washy has a sweet fragrance.

From the late Marilyn of Cooktown Queensland, officially known as Cooktown Queen (Sacred Gardens). Wishy Washy is a single large tree in a riverside park in Cooktown. The tree is more or less guarded there by the locals and police.
