Hi Mike, nice to meet some other Okie plumie lovers! Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it. Somehow I just knew y'all were going to tell me to cut it into pieces. Yikes, I'm scared-lol. Should I try to make the cuts and root it now or should I do as Moonie suggests and wait until spring? I have to admit, I did go to Southwoods and buy another plumie last week. A miniature Divine this time. Didn't want to take the chance of growing another monster-lol. I've also been eyeballing a Scentsational in full bloom. It smells good enough to eat but I'm not ready to spend $80 on a plumie. I went back today just to smell it and talk myself out of it for the 3rd time. I'd love to have the name of any local nursery that sells plumies! Moonie, thanks for the advice ! I appreciate getting help from plumeria growers with more experience and know-how than I have.

hehe yea chemocurl it would have been much easier if i'd started out doing it full time in the beginning instead of trying to play catch up when i realized it does matter and that people do count a lot on this when making trades...it was a little deterring at 1st when i read the instructions on how to do it and saw to put it in an existing thread instead of making new threads for each one so i decided to just go down the nick name list and post reviews for those i could remember clearly trading with...most of those were ones i've traded with twice or see posting in the forums all the time so have become names i remember...there are probably a few i've traded with once or traded with and had minimum communication during the trade and forgot...for those i'm sorry about that and hope to make it up if you'll just remind me if it matters to you... So glad you noticed I posted (or tried to post) to the right threads chemocurl :D I wanted to make less work for you and figured if i was gonna do it i should try to do it right...ignorance is bliss but it can also be irritating to others if a person chooses to stay ignorant instead of trying to figure it out or continuously keep doing it wrong

It's such a stormy early evening here (and it's tomorrow night that is supposed to be our real wind and rain coastal storm), I'd love to have my tree, its lights, fire in the fireplace and my quilt. But I took my tree down a few days ago, packed all the ornaments wrapping some, wrapped each piece of the santa figurine collection, thought I had everything carefully stored for another year. Then, saw a little ring sized box on the dining room table that holds the replacement bulbs and the fuses for the tree lights that didn't get into the lights box. And later that night, a chubby little sitting cross legged santa in his horn rimmed glasses still looking at me from the kitchen window sill over the sink. Second try, now everything is put away. I think.

Hi, Tami, I check in from time to time to see what's new, but now that I am 98% retired, I don't have much to post about. Still looking to hear from Patti... Jann
