Central Texas plumeria meetup
Comments (17)Six of us made it plus two little ones (Jandy Jr. and KMS Jr.). Jandy, elucas, Barbra, Sirkeith and wife, and me. Barbra and I rode together. Its great to have her along and not just because she brings her front row parking permit. :) Jandy JR and KMS JR found the ubiquitous nursery cat and made sure she got lots of attention and probaby a few grapes and cheeseballs too. They had not brought their in ground Plumerias back out but still had them in an obscure corner of a storage/greenhouse which it wasnt intended for us to be in but we were on a mission and won't be denied. They were just sitting on cardboard bare root. I was surprised to see that they just pull them out of the ground and left the leaves which IMO would dehydrate them (which they were). There were also about a dozen JJ 5 gallon plumerias still there. Most were the "premium X" or had the labels missing but there was one Mini Devine with 8 tips and 2 starting inflos (went home with Keith) and a very thick Southern Cross with six tips and a Thumbilina with 6 or 7 tips (both went with me). Barbra made sure I got some sort of discount for buying two plants. Jandy also gave me a two tip ETLD so now the correct answer on her Seedling Challenge is 30. She also gave me a very healthy Moragne #78 (Kelly I think). Also some Pride of Barbados Seeds. I went there with a box of cuttings and gladly departed with it empty to fill it up again as I pull mine out of the greenhouse and prune for shape. Everyone left with multiple cuttings of Rose Red, JL Penang Peach, Dean Conklin, JL Candystripe, JL Lei Rainbow, Aztec Gold, Jeannie Moragne Jr, NOID white Pinwheel, Celadine, and Giveaway Pink. Most of those cuttings were taken this weekend so please let them callus over. If you are not sure if its ready let me know. Thanks to Jandy for organizing (again) and for everyone who made it out there. I enjoyed it and look forward to the next meeting....See MoreCentral Texas plumeria meet-up
Comments (12)It was so great to see you guys, especially since I can't post on here as much lately I'm missing out! (my company upgraded their security or something & now I can read but not post - HMPH!) It was so cool to see all those blooms! Quite a nice bunch there to see all at one time and talk about. It is such a treat to be able to trade plants and talk talk talk plants even if the people in the food court think we're crazy! haha! I can't complain at all, actually the food court is the closest to my house so THANK YOU ALL for driving so far! You guys are awesome, thanks for the plants! Barbara, you were certainly missed and I'm so sorry you had a water leak to deal with a second time around, as if once isn't plenty! Hope to see you next time....See MoreLooking for California Sally plumeria (Florida)

Comments (5)Have you visited Kerby's in Seffner? Either a quick drive west on 60 or I-4. Nice selection and nice, helpful staff. You can make a day of it and visit the other nursery across the street on Parsons (don't know the name), and there is a plumeria nursery nearby (think it's the exotic plumeria?)...See MoreGreg 9B
