Just beautiful. Is it fragrant?? I love all the rich rainbow plumerias.

That is just beautiful! That CB is a very nice gardener!

That is beautiful. I have two I have been waiting for blooms for 4 years. They may get the snow and ice treatment this year.

Lucy I Am So Happy For You.
You Are A Good Plummie Mommie.!!!!!!
That Is So Beautiful~~~~~~

Chocolate Brug

Dave not sure if it has a fragrance. By the time I got to it it was so hot...All I managed was SEEING it...my nose had a hard time breathing in this heat lol

Pam, Chocolate Brug is a person with a heart as big as Texas. AT LEAST!!!

Marcia (marquest do I have your name right?)Did you start your plummies from seed? That is a long time otherwise.

Chocolate Brug thank you that you shared your treasure with me and let me grow it. Yes the Plummies really seem to like me. The Cutting that my neighbor gave me last fall has a inflo with LOTS of blooms coming. And the beauty about that one is that around the inflo are equally spread out 4 new stems growing out. yippeeeeeeeeeee

Lucy

I tried...ha ha ha but I just saw in the other post that I have names mixed up. In case you do not know this about me yet...I am horrible with names and take a long time to remember...sometimes 4FR or as with plants...they just do not stick until I grow them myself and THEN I might not remember from one season to the next either rofl

Again, sorry for having called you Marcia.
Lucy

BEAUTIFUL Lucy!!!!
Are you still holding one hostage for me?? That Beautiful Yellow???
Chocolate made me look ya know!!LOLOLOL..

Kylie

OF COURSE!!!! I will hand deliver it to ya :-) Have a few more cuttings rooting. Not only broke 2 of the neighbors little ones off when I watered his garden. After he came back 2 more broke off when his huge Plumeria tree fell over and I got them too lol

Glad you looked my friend

Hugs
Lucy

"Marcia (marquest do I have your name right?)Did you start your plummies from seed? That is a long time otherwise."

LOL Lucy call me anything as my mom says call me anything as long as you do not forget to call me to eat.

It was a trade and she said they were rooted cuttings 1-2 yrs old and should bloom in 2-3 years. I love tropicals so I read everything it would need and how to care for them (she sent me 2). It is now going on the 4th summer and nothing. One started to branch this summer but never got a flower.

I bring them in every Sept and kept them in the dining room since they did not drop all the leaves I would give them a sip of water maybe once a month.

I might add she did not know what color they would be because she just brought a bunch of cuttings and rooted them and had them growing for 1 - 2 years but had to many to keep. They are a good 3 - 4' now really thick trunks looking very happy but not a bloom in sight.

They are getting sun from sun up to sundown. Still nothing nota, ziltz, zero bloom. This year I put two glad bulbs in each pot so I would not have two none blooming pots on the patio. So I am almost conveinced my zone is just not hot and sunny long enough to grow these plants to bloom.

I am sorry for hijacking your post whinning about my none blooming Plummie. LOL

Marquest don't be silly. That is the way you get info and answers.
It still is strange. The cutting from my neighbor that he said is a 1 year cutting and he gave them to me last year, well look for yourself :
{{gwi:511262}}From Pictures for GW friends

You could say this is my 1st year with Plumeria's :-) All the seedlings were started by me from seed mid Dec.
Maybe some Plummie pros can tell you if the heat is a factor why yours have not bloomed yet ?

If this one is the yellow one, then the other yellow one he just gave me that was in bloom, I can send it to you. Of course I do not know how it will do with you. But that could be a test if they grow in your zone! Anybody in PA that grows them with success??? Please step up lol

Lucy

Looks like you have a load of Plummie blooms on the way.. I have a Maui Candy and Dwarf African White that should bloom soon.. They aren't very big BUT... between the cows and the wind I may have a few cuttings my self...LOLOLOL

Kylie

Awwww thank you. You are sweet maybe I should send you my two cuttings and you get them to bloom for me then send them back. LOL

I told them if they do not start to perform I can show them some snow and ice and it will not be pretty what those two things can do to their stubborn nature. LOL

Marcia ~~~~~LOL~~ Now you are sounding like chocolate Brug.

I Threaten All Flowers If They Do Not Perform??????

See All Those Other Plants Across The Tracks.
That's Where You All Are Going If You Don't

Chocolate Brug

LOL...Chocolate... I have tried almost every food everyone has suggested. I have babied, feed, loved and talked nice to them the gloves are off.

I am not above threats and this year I am trying physcological warfare.

I posted this pic I think in the Plummie forum. This year I planted two glad bulbs in each pot. I told them these are from the dollar store now are you going to let cheap dollar blubs bloom before you? I think I got my answer since the glads are blooming in their face and the Plummie have DONE NOTHING!!! LOL

{{gwi:105793}}

Wow Lucy, love the color you are so good
with your plants! CB is so nice to share
with you!
Hugs!
Susan

marquest that is probably the most expensive STALK to keep your Gladiolus from falling over, I have seen so far lol But it looks great. Your Plummie stalk with flowers lol

I did underplant some Plumeria's Not sure if that is good or not?

Chocolate Brug like I said....if you get ready to go to the RR tracks...Let me know rofl. And if Kristy starts it too, I will be there even faster rofl.

I do however believe that everyone who shares there treasures with others, gets this satisfying feeling in there heart that they made someones garden so much more special. ONly a gift from the heart can do. No money in the world can buy that feeling!

Thank you everyone for being such a person when you see that it will be appreciated very much. I do hope that all that share or trade, have the least bitter experience one can have here and there. Those are the learning lessons.

Lucy

Oh my gosh I stuck my nose deep inside the pedals just so I can smell it...this one smells like roses!!

Chocolate Brug can my nose be right?

I totally love this one A LOT! Every day I smile...because of your generosity!!

Hugs
Lucy

Lucy, that is one of the most beautiful plumeria, I have ever seen. I have only the solid colored plumeria, that I ordered from Hawaii, and they all rooted, so if you ever want to trade for a solid plumeria let me know. I bought 6 plants about 4 inches tall from a man in Houston on ebay, he said they were rare, but did not know what colors. They are about 1 ft tall right now, I love suprises. I hope I am pleasantly suprised when they finally bloom. Barbra,

Lucy You Got It~~~~~~ !!!!!!!

I Am So Glad That You Are

Happy With Your Plummie
Now I Am Waiting On Your
Morange"93 To Bloom.

Chocolate Brug

Barbra when you see the beauty of ONE Plumeria, it is SO easy to get carried away. Wanting to get a LOT more beauties into your garden. Will you believe it that I went BROWSING at places to buy Plumeria's lol

Then I called my mind to attention. After all, There IS Morange"93 I am eager to see. I could google it....but I want it to be a surprise when it will bloom.

Of course Aztec Gold from Bob will be another unknown. so far it is only growing leaves. But very nicely!!

Of course the baby cutting from Kristy might take a while. But it might be the red one. I forgot :-( Cause for the longest time I thought the cutting was not going to root. Now...boy I love the way Plumeria's take off when they are ready to grow!

So I wait. and wait....and one day I do hope I can share these beauties that were shared with me.

Chocolate Brug you have it right...if I EVER be BOLD enough. lol I would love to have that fragrance in the house. WOW. But as long as Precious is into EVERYTHING and ate the Zinnia's too...I better enjoy the blooms outside.

I could not believe that this kitty even eats the wax candles! man she is a hand full lol

Lucy

Lucy, I think we are very lucky to live in Texas, it is so easy to root plumeria here. I was told to put the cutting in a pot of miracle grow, water once a week, and leave the pot on the hot sidewalk, I have had 100% success. I think the hot sidewalk is the secret. Barbra,

Lucy did you ever find out if the plant that Chocolate Brug took the cutting from had a color break? BTW a color break is the darker colored splotches on the petals. They aren't uniform in color like a stripe and are caused by a virus. I love plumies with a color break. One of the better known color break varieties is Princess Victoria.

Here is a link that might be useful: Plumeria Princess Victoria

wow Karyn that Princess Victoria is beautiful!No I have not ask.

Chocolate Brug maybe you read this and can answer the question. I have to read up to the color break. Is that bad when it is caused by a virus?

Barbra I was told to stick it in a mixture of vermiculite and I use MG. LIke 2:1 parts. Stick it in...rooting hormone not really necessary. Wate it until it comes out on the bottom and not to water again until you see a sign of leave growth. Of course put in on concrete / driveway in the sun. Worked for all the ones I have been rooting. YES that is ONE TIME I LOVE Texas lol

Lucy

Just did a little google. found a posting from 06 here on GW. Got to read up more on it. But somehow I do not think that this one has it. I know I am new to plumeria's. But the little red dots on this one...look uniformly even spread out. On each pedal...after pedal. So...waiting for CB to answer I guess do more re search.

Karyn I loved the purposely exposing plants to the virus to get that effect. Now I have some Idea why the 4 o clocks look the way they do?

Lucy

It is perlite..have no idea why I came up with vermiculite lol

Maybe it is bast the bedtime or I am excited that DH is leaving early to go on vacation lol

Lucy

Lucy

To The Best Of My Knowledge
I Cannot Recall Seeing a Color
Break In This Variety. But With
The Attributes I Am Seeing In
This Plummie It Is a Beautiful Flower.
My Favorite Has Always Been
The Ones With The Virus Which Is Showing
Up In Your Plummie Picture. You Never Knows
What You Are Going To Get From Petal To Petal.
!!!!!!That Is a Beautiful Flower.!!!!!!!

Chocolate Brug

ahh thanks Chocolate Brug.

Mystery solved :-)

Boy this brings up questions after questions.

If yours did not have it...does the virus come to life like with brugs...sometimes through shipping...shock? Do I have this virus in my yard in the 4 o'clocks for example. Cause I am guessing that that is how they come up with those colorations in the mixed colored ones.

The more I learn...the more scared I get :-( Sometimes not knowing is a blessing for me lol

Lucy

I'm not sure how the virus is transmitted or what causes it to turn on. It's not dangerous to the plumeria but I've heard that some people keep their color break plumies away from their uninfected plants. I also don't know if the virus that causes the color break or variegation in one plant can cause the same thing in a different variety. Like the virus that causes variegation in citrus leaves causing a color break in a plumeria. I don't know enough about it.

Thats beautiful Lucy. Morgan wants to know if you will have Maddie tomorrow. She wants to visit with her if you do. I found that letting my plumeria go dormant they bloom better and faster than they did when I kept them growing in the house before. The pink one is taking forever to bloom this year but all the others are blooming.

No Maddy. Dad has Maddy for a week.

So were are those blooming Plumeria pictures? :-))

Lucy
