Plumeria
 

I started growing this one from seed 3 yrs ago. Last year, it gave me just one or two blooms but this year it's really happy and has lots of buds still popping up :dance:

Smells heavenly! :cloud9:

Way to grow Suzanne:bowing I love plumeria. Did a trade a while ago and the piece I got is doing great. Just waiting for it to bloom. I don't have the patience to start from seed.

amazing to have it flower after only 3 years.
must be the excellent cultere by the grower.

Beautiful! The one cane I bought that survived has lots of leaves and I can't wait for those beautiful blooms!!! Do you leave it potted or let it dry out and hibernate in the winter?? (Man, I wish I was in Florida!)

This is one of two that we have potted and got a full dose of being ignored over the winter. We put the pots in a dark corner of the orchid room once we got into a steady less-than-50 degrees-at-night pattern and then brought back outside at the first sign of any green.

There are a few in the ground that get covered on the coldest nights (which doesn't happen very often here) but those aren't showing signs of buds yet...neither is the second one in a pot...but I do have patience when it comes to plants :)

I've read conflicting things about what to do with a plumeria in the winter. Sounds like I'm going to ignore mine this winter. :evil: I want some of those beautiful flowers next year!:drool:

Thanks

It's such a nice looking plant. Great growing!!!

Very nice Sue - it must have wonderful fragrance!

Lucky you. Those smell so great and are such a neat looking plant, all rambly and bare until the green leaves poke out in spring. I don't have one, but I did grow one for a friend when she was given it as a gift. I only had it a few months, but was very impressed with how quickly the leaves developed. Great growing!

Is this similar to temple trees flowers. It grows here .they grow up to a large tree and there are big flowers to small flowers,
