Comments (46)Thank you for your message Mea! This is so kind of you. I am still not decided on which plumerias to get in the beginning. I'd limit myself to only 2 for now. I'd want a Celadine and another one, but I am still doing research about their fragrance and easiness to be grown. I think I'd have to search for a few plumies to see them in person first and I have not much time on my hands to go here and there... Arghhh... I want to start with them but I don't have time to go see more plumerias. Difficult choice. Any advice is highly appreciated....See MoreAnyone interested in a Plumeria swap????
Comments (21)Krysti, Thanks for adding your email to your member's page.... You're welcome to join in the trading....if anyone has items you're interested in, simply contact them by posting on this forum and/or send them an email with an offer to trade for their items. Since there are so few of us, and most of us may have the same varieties, I've added the option to trade other plants as well as Plumeria that you may have as long as both traders agree on the trades before mailing. If you see anything on my list that you're interested in, let me know....you can reach me faster by email. Thanks....See MoreID question
Comments (5)Roxanna- what Bri said is correct. Technically a plant should be registered with the Plumeria Society of America or be a cutting from a registered plant to have a genuine, recognized name. One of the problems is that cuttings and seedlings are not the same. Cuttings for the most part are like the plant it comes from whereas seedlings may or may not look like the parent plant. I have 10 white seedlings from a Cindy Moragne that are all slightly different. I also have several that are red, orange and tri-colors. If I called them Cindy Moragnes and sold them as such, people would not get the real deal. Also, some overseas growers have bought cuttings from Hawaii and turn around and give them a new name to enhance sales. For sales purposes, you cannot id a plumeria from a picture alone. The PSA requires a load of data and more than three growing plants to consider recognizing a new name. They are trying to standardize the plants so when you buy or trade, you get what you expected. Still, I have probably twenty plants that were bought from major dealers or growers that turned out to be something else. by the time they flower it is several years later. That is why I buy from people i trust and know. In the plumie world, caveat emptor!!!!! Bill...See Morecitizen_insane
