Hi Trevor, I highly recommend Jungle Jack's. It's a plumeria addict's dream! Most of my plumerias are from Jungle Jack's. I have been there twice already since April and I'm going again tomorrow. :) Jungle Jack Vista, CA San Diego County Address: 1145 Gopher Canyon Road, Vista, CA 92084 Hours: Monday-Friday 8am-4pm, Saturday 10am-2pm, other times by prior appointment. No appointment required during regular business hours. If you go to my thread here you will see some photos of the Plants I bought at Jungle Jacks. http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/plumeria/msg0620541319200.html?41 Jon's plants are healthy, happy and just beautiful. The best part is his prices are very fair and he's a very patient man. Some folks here like Upland Nursery... but I did not have a good experience with them. To me their high prices (I paid $99 for a 2 gal plant vs JJ's 5 Gal for half the price) lack of service and the fact that their plants are grafted... means I won't be buying from them in the future. Also Encinitas and Irvine Home Depot carry JJ's plumerias as well. But since I'm so close to JJ's I just go straight there to get the varieties that I cannot find at HD. Prices are comparable anyway so might as well. My last trip to JJ's I found a NOID which turned out to be Tiger from Thailand. And she's a beauty! So this time I'm going to hunt for a Red flower plant! :) Good luck and have fun if you do go!

Hi Rodney, very very interesting about C-Stars nursery. Have never seen their nursery..thanks for showing. Armstrong nurseries told me they had a big hit with the freeze. Armstrong always carries their plants in May..Hawaii days. Not this time, but will be coming out in July. Home Depot this time month ago or so had another nursery bringing in Plumeria, no C-stars. Bought one that has died and another one growing well. Congrats on getting some good ones, Tony too. They carry playful and some nice ones. I don't live near Gardena, will have to wait. What is the name of the one you bought? Tony the Gardenia one? red and white, mine smells like gardenia from Marylnns nursery? Karen B.

How many do you need? Local nurseries often give away used pots in 4" and 1 gal, the one I worked at did. We charged a few cents for the bother of giving away the larger pots. One nursery on town has a bin where customers can drop off empty pots, and others can take them. You'd have to scrub and sanitize so thats your cost. For larger sizes look up a local landscaper, they would gladly give them to you instead of hauling them to the dump. Trust me, I do a lot of planting for people who buy, but don't want to do the planting. I have tons of pots and have given them to anyone who will take them. One lady stopped by a job I was planting and asked for the pots. she got over 80 from us the following day. Our Dump will take them but I have to drive them there, and there is no outlet for recycling, so personally I'd rather see them be used again. Its the green thing I guess.

Ethan and Kristy: Yes, the budwood does have to be in a certain condition to allow the best chance of a successful graft. I'm not sure if "dormant" describes it accurately. I prefer to say wood that is just about to break dormancy but has not begun to leaf out yet. I suppose truly dormant would be better than already pushed out, so I guess in that sense, Ethan, you would be correct. In Kristy's post, she only asked how to get the wood safely from there to home. I presumed that she had already selected appropriate material for grafting. That was a bit presumptuous on my part since if she hasn't even done it, how would she know. Thanks for pointing that out, Ethan. Harry
