We only have one plumeria alba planted in the compound. Its growth is rather slow, maybe due to the infertile soil. The leaves grow out from the end of the branches.
However, it did bloom now and then; giving out a sweet smell that sometimes tickled your nose. This picture shows the buds and a blooming flower at the end of the flower stalk. The flowers will then form a cluster of whites.
A white flower does give out a stronger smell than the red one. This is purely based on my own sense of smell though....
The flower is not 100% white, a bit of yellow can be found at the inner end of the petals.

The leaves of this plumeria look really nice also. I always love kemboja putih. They are the kemboja I know from young. Nowadays there are many hybrids/colours.
