Plumeria with no roots, just planted, and blooming
Last November a friend gave me this rather large (4 foot) fresh Plumeria cutting. It wasn't the proper time of year to plant it and the cut needed time to cure, so I plopped it on it's side in my flower bed and basically forgot about it. A few weeks ago while watering, I noticed the rootless cutting had nubby green tips and it became obvious to me that it was time to stop neglecting and start planting. When planted last weekend there were still no roots, but the leaves and buds had already begun developing. It's been less than a week since being planted and imagine my surprise to see fully opened blooms. I was told the blooms would be solid white in color and was overjoyed to see cheerful yellow blooms with white borders. They have a wonderful fragrance.
