Many are Singapores, but most that catch my eye are rubra varieties. Most are dormant (because this is the time of year I go) but a few are leafy. If they catch my eye at all it's because they have flowers.
There is no real "dry" season in Hawai'i. There is always 80's and showers, and then there's mostly 70's and 80's and showers. Add the irrigation that landscapes get, and you get a soil that rarely if ever dries out completely. Yet the plumerias don't mind.
I'm guessing it's a soil temperature/air temperature thing. If the soil stays at least in the 70's, then would plumerias in pots really mind occasional drinks? I hate seeing mine shrivel, though I do mist now and then.
What do the rest of you think about this?
