I have rooted plumerias Where are you? I'm in Orlando erea. Thanx,Carmen

I live in SWFlorida and I have been growing both queens wreath and sky vine for five years and love them both. Earlier comments regarding the need for constant pruning of the sky vine are correct but if you have the time the resulting blooms are worth it. One plant covered an eight foot section 4 feet high of chainlink fence and provide a wonderful color display when in bloom and a nice green wall when not. I built a 4 foot ladder trellis for my queens wreath and planted on plant at each end. Within two years the woody vine climbed to the four foot top a spread out across the eight foot long ladder. It now blooms about every three to four months and it is the one plant that I have that everyone who sees it in bloom raves about. Two great plants either is great but the wreathed is a definate show stopper.

I just cut mine to the ground 2 weeks ago because it was going dormant - losing leaves and limbs dying.

Swertmonkey: omgoodness, you found my dream bougie! I have looked high and low for a multi-colored bougie standard but they are impossible to find! My best best was going to be to buy a large standard and then train a different colored one up it's trunk. Of course i dreaded that part for the same reason i like standards.. the hard part is already done and you can go under the tree without getting killed by the thorns. Much like you describe in your earlier post. That must have been some tree your parents had. Did you see the crazy price on the one you linked to? Aghh
