Plumeria rubra BLACK PURPLE
[X*Vuchon Violet, Muang Anchan, Violet Anchan]
[ Apocynaceae ]
The picture is in no way photoshopped or enhanced, real colors ! This is a real beauty blooming. The name "Muang Anchan” in Thai means “Purple Ultra-Violet. This unique and rare beauty produces nice deep, dark plum-purple colored, medium size flowers. The overlapping, oval petals are dark purple, with hints of black veination and golden-orange towards center; turning to bluish purple-pink with age.The fragrance is of cinnamon red-hot candies. This is among the most unique Thai varieties with a rare coloration, without doubt the most purple of so many so-called purple plumerias because, when temperatures are hot and under a little bit of shade from the hottest afternoon sun, the flower petals will resemble to silk.
