Phenomenal- my very first cutting blooming !!!!
Comments (21)Few more pics. The other bud opened up too. They look so gorgeous. I am checking them few times a day and show them to everybody I am that excited. Karyn, the plant is small but the blooms are huge or at least look to me. I measure them and are like a bit over 11in in length and about 7 in in width....See Moremy very first iris in bloom

Comments (6)Talk to Joey... he's WONDERFUL and the creator of this beautiful plumeria... he's also the guy that posted about 4 posts above mine... look at his other work and at the website, but this is typically an expensive plumeria (I was looking at it myself and couldn't afford it at the time)... but unfortunately due to the location of his farm (Louisiana) he's running low on a lot, thanks to Katrina... but he's extremely nice and a joy to work with... and by the way Joey... the two cuttings you sent me, that you were worried about, are going crazy with leave production... :) Brittany...See MorePics of my very first blooms!
Comments (17)Well, don't we all have great taste?! If you find a Makaha as a cutting you might consider sending it straight away to Florida Colors to be grafted. They are VERY hard to root! I've only ever seen rooted through 1-stop-aloha. I don't know why they're so scarce, but there seem to be more nurseries in California with plants than elsewhere from what I've read. Bill, that's very encouraging about Intense Rainbow--thanks! Here's a photo of the beautiful inflo I had on my unrooted Makaha cutting that I eventually got grafted: I was THISCLOSE to seeing blooms! With those colors I can totally see why it was named "Inferno" by some. Of course, the inflo came off during the grafting process, so I still have never seen flowers. Can't wait to see your photos, Bill!...See MoreJirapa (aka Boom) M
