Plumeria cv ‘Moragne # 106’
P. ‘Moragne # 106’ is one of the famous Moragne hybrids produced by the late Mr. William Moragne, Sr. of Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii during the 1950s. After nearly twenty years of experiments, Mr. Moragne performed the first documented cross pollination of Plumeria rubra varieties. The results are some of the most spectacular plumeria cultivars known. This cultivar is not yet named and is referred to by its original designation.
Petal Shading
- Top: Central (base of petal) Yellow 12B fades to near white two thirds of the way to the tip. The entire petal is overlaid with grainy Red-Purple 60C becoming a dense band on the right side. Denser veins of grainy Red-Purple 60C emanate from the center yielding an orangish appearance.
- Bottom: A stripe of Red-Purple 60D on the left is followed by a grainy band of Red-Purple 60D on white, then white overlaid with faint and grainy red-purple showing white veins to the right side. A small splash of Yellow 12B is noted in the lower right.
