How do Plumeria cultivars get their names?
Plumeria cultivars are typically named by their breeders or developers. The names often reflect the cultivar’s parentage, unique traits, flower colors, or the name of the breeder or hybridizer. For example, a cultivar with pink flowers bred by a person named Smith may be called “Smith’s Pink Delight.” Some cultivars are named after special events, places, or to honor individuals who have made significant contributions to the field of Plumeria hybridization. The naming process allows breeders to celebrate the beauty and uniqueness of their creations while providing valuable information to collectors and gardeners interested in specific cultivars.
