By George I think I got it with this photobucket thing...LOL

Plants look a little pukey for they were just replanted into bigger pots after shiping

Thanks for looking and I am sorry I posted the butterfly in this forum and not the correct one...

Hey susan,

I'll take one of your pukey plummies any day of the week.
I think they look great. I like the background looks very Eastern with all the trees. I'm from N.Y. and those were the trees I remember.

well you all might wanna get ready to wait a few years lol. But I always hope for miracles :-) Karyn yes, same batch and I really liked his germination rate from the seeds and now that I see how well they are doing...GREAT!! Scott every once in a while I have time to stray and look at other forums...but this one keeps me busy enough thanks so much lol Barbra I do nothing special. Some only have one single stem. No side branchings. Some still grow some new ones. But mainly I believe it is the extreme heat we have and the sun they are getting :-) Perfect Plant for me to grow during the summer. lol Daniella the plant stand I got from the guy who has a business down the road from me and he always has way to many things I like, but can't afford. But when I needed a little stand and we talked and he said that business is so slow and money tight to pay bills...well lets just say we both walked away happy :-))) Lucy

Some kind of Insect on my Plumerias
Q

carol, next time you observe a problem with your plants, try to identify it BEFORE you spray. Using pesticides of any kind (fungicides or insecticides, for example) without knowing for sure who the enemy is, isn't the way to go. For a lot of reasons. You can always find a pack of good detectives here in the GardenWeb forums.

Need Some Advice for My Broken Plumeria
Q
Comments (67)
Dear Friends, The tree in this thread grew from a cutting I brought back from Maui about 8 years ago. I've kept it alive and reasonably well even in this relatively-cold clime, though it has been plagued, each winter, by spider mites. Due to the climate and the mites, it has only bloomed once, long ago. Then last year the branch was broken that gave rise to this thread and the things I've learned here have helped me make my plumeria a much happier plant. The result is that it is blooming! In addition, I have two cuttings, both of which are putting out new leaf spikes (though I've seen no roots yet and am following directions until I do). So I wanted to share them with you, who have done so much to help make it happen. Thanks again for your time and energy and knowledge and encouragement! If ever we should meet, I shall pour a glass of my homemade pineapple mead for you! Thanks Again and Aloha!

Dave, Your yard is amazing!!!!!!!!!! I thought I saw a monkey there.. You and your awsome ideas and advice are certainly appreciated even more so now! Love your ideas!! Wow, those are some wonderful looking plumies, bananas, and big foliage plants!! What color contrast too... Your grass is what everyone in my neighborhood dreams of. And oh yes, I LOVE! that hibiscus..Do you have to bring it in in winter? It would be a waste to loose that.It is beautiful.. Great job Dave!!! Superb!!! Thanks so much for sharing! Do you charge a fee to walk through that paradise? You hate to see winter come and wash it away..:-( Mike..:-)

I'm from originally N.Y. then lived in Jersey also. what a coincidence. Va. isn't that far from the East so maybe that's why I thought it was the East. Now I live in So.
Calif. the San Fernando Valley. Your plummies look great and very healthy. Ijust started with the Forum 3 weeks ago and I love it. I learned so much and I love interacting with people all over the world. Great experience.

Hi Susan,
I loved the first picture too, the butterflies were so pretty..did look for a humming bird. This is a great picture. I have feeders in different places, seems there is a dominant male that takes over one and does not allow anyone to visit..would like a lot more

Your plumies look great.

Love the hummingbirds and plumies Susan. VA is very pretty and much history there. I'm from back east living in So. CA too. I still have family and friends living in VA, NY and Jersey. Susan you will have some really nice trees in a few years and you will enjoy your blooms next season if you haven't already. Make sure you take pics and share them with us.

Susan,

It is always exciting to be able to see the blooms of your new plants. I'm excited for you. Which ones did u get? I've sent you email. I figure no one wants to see me talk about cities. LOL.. But I'm sure they wouldn't mind knowing the names of your plumies. : ) Including myself.

Well I know the one that we got tonight that was left on the porch of the person up the street yesterday morning is an Aztec gold and she has inflow and flowers, then I am getting a Kolika should come tomorrow and that also has inflow on it... They are just so pretty... I am going to take a new picture of my deck now so you can see just how BIG my addiction has become...LOL I also got 3 cuttings from Singapor(sp) one is a violet drop , the other is a violet sentosa, also a rainbow blend.. all are so pretty.. Hope I can root them.. They are nice looking cuttings so I really hope I can do this... I dont think I am going to be a good seed person with plumerias...

Hug,
Susan, Va

Susan,

You will love the Aztec Gold and the Kolika is beautiful! Your Singapore varieties look really nice. Please post pics when they are ready to bloom. I do some seeds along with the cuts cause believe it or not I've had some grafts and cuts take about 2-3 years before it bloomed. So that's about the time seedlings are suppose to maybe start blooming. The only thing about seedling blooms is that to really get the true blooms you still have to wait for two more blooming cycle after the first one. LOL.. Waiting and growing time.

Hugs,
Janet
