This is one of my all-time favorites, because it blooms a lot and often and is just a wonderful all-around plant;

BERYL BACH

Beryl Bach is so full! How big are the blooms - they look huge! If you say they're 4" or bigger, I'll swoon!

Niels thanks for the birthday wish. You have captured a gorgeous pic of the sky. How long do you taking flying to get home, hope not 48 hours. Mendocino-thanks for the thoughtful wish, and the beautiful rose pic. Its my favorite color rose. I had a wonderful day, but I am going to have even a better week. You could call me Niecey, Nicey, Bernice, whatever your heart desire. Beth-Thanks for taking time out to wish me a Happy Birthday. It does not matter if its the same day or days later, I appreciate it all the same. Purple Touch, the color is so intense. Carol-Thank to you for stopping by to wish me a Happy Birthday. All the bright, beautiful and gorgeous color roses sure did brighten up day. Much Appreciated everyone. Niecey

Hi Cruz, Welcome to the forum! Thank you for the kind words. You'll find lots of friendly, knowledgeable people on this forum who love to share what they've learned, and who also love to contribute to each others' addictions--consider yourself warned. You're in Dade, so we're neighbors. I choose to identify my county because our state is so large--Tallahassee is something like 400 miles away, right? Anyway, plumeria are pretty easy where we live. They're not fussy, so all we have to do is protect them from the occasional winter cold front, and feed and water them when they're growing. To answer your question, I do not use epsom salts. However, some on here do use them at the beginning of the season. I think it depends on the growing conditions in each grower's backyard. Epsom salts provide magnesium and sulfur, and I have no indication that my plants are deficient in either of those particular minerals. I continuously feed (IOW, at every watering), low dosages of Dyna-Gro Foliage Pro 9-3-6, along with Dyna-Gro ProteKt 0-0-3 and Super Thrive. Because the two fertilizers provide full-spectrum nutrition (NPK + all micronutrients), I don't ever worry that I have a deficiency in any one particular nutrient. Great stuff! I also foliar feed at extremely low dosages the same with Spray-N-Grow added. This is NOT necessary but I do it because it gives me an excuse to hang out near my trees, truth be told. A search on this forum should yield all kinds of helpful information, but if you want to ask more questions, by all means, feel free. Good luck and happy growing! Greg

Carol, I'd say they might be 4", but not much more. But there's TONS of them! The bush can have as many as 100 buds and blooms at once. It reaches about 7ft if I don't hard prune it. It's one of my favorite roses, just because of the amount of blooms it produces. You can have a huge bouquet with one stem.

Jimmy, I have an older Sony camera. It's a Cybershot 5.0 Megapixel DSC-F717 with a 10x digital zoom. I don't use all the features of it, I mostly use the Auto feature on Macro mode with no flash, but in certain lighting situations I will use the manual mode and adjust the exposures. I do a lot of tweaking afterwards in Photoshop, to adjust color and contrast, etc. I love my camera. It's big and easy to use. I looked at the newer versions and they're so complicated I couldn't even figure out how to turn on the LCD viewer. If your pictures ar blurry, maybe you need to use a tripod. I don't use one, it's too cumbersome. And to get the close-up shots, you have to have a good Macro. Mine will focus up to just under 1" I believe.
