Leaves coming in red...?

Hi all again!

Now that winter is out of the way many of plumerias are getting leaves in. I've also added a few more to my collection from nurseries.

However, I've noticed that my own plumerias from last season have reddish brown tips and the leaves come in very dark green with red veins and red leaf bases. This is true for pretty much all of my plumerias, even ones with white and yellow flowers. All of the ones I've bought from nurseries recently, however, are bright green with no red (even the ones that are supposed to have red flowers! And I trust these nurseries). For example, I attached a pic of my Gina from last year, whereas my nursery Gina is very green at the tips (some red on it, but not at all like my older Gina or any of my other plumerias).

Is this some sort of sun stress or other problem? Thanks!
