Looking for musk rainbow and JL Metalica

9 years ago

Hello all,

All of my plumerias have been doing well but I did lose a few grafts and smaller rooted cuttings I purchased over the winter. If anyone is willing to sell a cutting or rooted of the following plumerias:

-Musk rainbow

-JL Metallica

-JL Doric

-Kimo

-India

I would be interested in larger sizes if possible and don't mind paying the extra cost for them.

Sorry to hear about your losses....musk rainbow and the JLs can prove difficult to find, and can be pricey. The others I've seen on fuzzys eBay this week, they're starters but are rooted...blooming plumerias is his storefront name. FC had Metallica last time I was on their site...good luck!

I appreciate all the information and leads on where to find some of them Stephen. I've actually bought a few plumeria's from fuzzy with great success and will go check it out now. I bought my original Metallica from FC and I wasn't happy with the graft at all. I tried to wait it out and see if it would make it but it seemed to be doomed from the beginning. I'll keep looking and hopefully find a nice one down the road.

I have a nice musk rainbow that is about 7' tall in my backyard. It is by far my favorite plumeria! I have two cuttings that I am working on rooting now. They should be ready to go in a few weeks. Let me know if you have something to trade. This post was edited by SHhhhh on Fri, Jun 13, 14 at 16:13

hello all, I have enjoyed reading and looking here for amny years and finally thought I would join and share some pics you might assist me in verifying what they are, after seeing a pic of '' metallica'' mine is so different than shown here I may have to inform those who I have sold or gifted to that they may be something else. The '' Richards star came from ''richlins and was blooming, and since its his seedling that's a given and wondered if anyone else had one. its not a real generous bloomer, at least for me and im using very good nutrition including high phos bat guanos which have produced great blooms on the 56 other named I have. my '' mettalica came from a lady in texas, she after paying huge $ for it shared a cutting after it grew enough to do so. but it sure doesn't look like the one I saw here . does anyone else have one looking like mine? I love the color for sure but would appreciate any feedback from the group. BTW the purple one is a beauty. I took so long during the joining phase I forgot who it was. thanks again for the great photos and reading.

I wanted to let every know what I bought home beside my Wildfire. I also bought a penang peach 14 inches tall, with 3 tiny tips, and a Bill Moragne, 20 inches 1 tip, both are 1 inch thick. K bought 4 plants, all I remember is that his California Sally, was as thick as a log. He got some really nice plants to add to his collection. We got to meet Nancy and Emerson, and Tex. We got to visit with Joan, who introduced me to Ivysmom. I got to meet everyone that I wanted to, and I don't think I even needed those feathers. It was a great day. Barbra

Thank you everyone weighing in on my BT issue. Mona-You said it! Stressed! I'm flipped out! But I haven't lost hope yet. :) irun5k-Actually there is quite a lot for me to think about based on your experience. All of my newly rooted or rooted from other sellers go to the "nursery area" It gets significantly less sun and is covered in a medium grade shade cloth. I'm wondering if I need to bump up sun exposure. I've always used this same area...but...I know each variety is different. So thank you, I'm going to perhaps move them to a different area and see what happens. Greg-I can't even describe the frustration:) I'm taking all the experiences shared and racking my brain to try and find a solution. If my Kona Candy dies I'm coming to steal yours! LOL Hi Laura!- First the most important item...JLM is just fine! Whew! It looks like maybe, just maybe Kona Candy may make it, despite being an ugly stump. This will be the only one that I have been able to cut and seal that hasn't totally failed within the week. No worries Laura I am sterilizing EVERYTHING:)Thank you always for your kind words of support:) James-Thank you so much for weighing in. I have read about root deficiency. Funny thing is, the first to get BT was a newly rooted cutting from a seller that had a pretty meager root system, the next a Musk Rainbow(oh it killed me to lose this one-it was a huge cutting)was not rooted but it shipped during the really hot time here in CA, next JL Golden pagoda-unrooted and lastly Kona Candy, came rooted but it has never thrived(its holding on as a stump) All that to say that each that has been hit has not been well established. I'm seeing a connection...perhaps? I'm really careful with fertilizing. I tend not to mother hen or be an over-doer :) So I think I can rule out over fertilization. I have checked for mites. Nada. What do you use for mite control? Many thanks! Nicole

Let us know how they are when you get them. I saw the auction that was up for them but get nervous ordering from people on eBay that I've never ordered from.

I have an extra Metallic I bought over e-bay last year. This was a very expensive plant, not sure you are interested after you hear the price. If you are interested, please send me an e-mail at kitnor@embarqmail.com. I have the receipt from one Stop Aloha. Its has one tip and if you are interested, I will take picture and send to you.
