| Well being the sucker that I am for any posting that I come across for 'one of the best smelling plumerias ever!' I broke down and ordered 4222 today. Laugh.
Anyone growing this beauty?
Here's what I've gleaned from various sites about its scent- #4222 from Thailand. This one is fascinating. It HAS to be a seedling of Pink Pansy--just has to be. The scent is identical to Magnum Opus too, that sort of gardenia plus something else I can't put my finger on... very fragrant. I put my last PP bloom next to the inflo for comparison. #4222 is much more ruffled and overlapped, and is starting to form tight bunches of flowers exactly like my Thai seller's picture. A true winner! I have to say next to my local variety "Cotton Candy" this plumie smells like sweet, sweet perfume.
I will stand by my statements I made a few years ago this is one of the best smelling Plumerias out there hands down!!
Yes, the fragrance is out of this world. Yes 4222 has good fragrance, just brought it in for my wife to take a whiff and tell me what it smells like, and she says no fragrance right now in 98' heat . But in the morning or at night yes. Thanks,

| Is anyone else wondering if Robert and Greg are 'planted' on this forum by certain growers to raise the price bidding on EBay? LOL! Let's see some pictures! |
