Hetty, your yard must be gorgeus! I still have 2 year old cuttings that have not bloomed. Keeping my fingers crossed that they will bloom this year.

I posted this in the Florida gardening column also:

I also have King Kalakua (strong Jasmine scent) blooming right now, just waiting for the buds to open up.

I'm getting plummie overload

That's the best overload.....more Leis..to make.

I attended a wedding a few years ago (before I discovered the plummie world) in St Pete FL where the theme was Hawaiian. Bride has real leis as a crown and necklace but everyone else including bridesmaids have fake leis.

Once I have more plummie blooms, I want to give this very nice couple real leis....

Finally my pudica, one of my most prolific bloomers, started flowering pretty again. It's been a year since I last saw blooms. Very unusual, but at least it's in the mood again:

Very pretty flowers, Ive. I found out this is one plumeria that simply will not overwinter completely dormant, without water, soil or light. The stems are just too thin to recover from the dehydration that always occurs during those 4-5 months inside.

Lovely Paduca! No blooms on mine yet hope it isn't like yours and makes me wait a year.

Ken, it was my fault. A landscaper not familiar with plumeria took the initiative to hard prune it when it wasn't neccesary. At least not the way he did it, anyway! All I wanted was my grass cut.

Usually I don't let any of my plummies be touched by other people, just me.

Anyway. Pudicas grow so well here in S. Florida, with very little care. It kept producing lovely blooms until the mishap. At any rate, I'm happy my TLC is paying off, finally.

Yep, your and my growing conditions are extremely different, at least when fall rolls around.

A few years back a guy put some plumies up for sale to find out his dad is the one who named Ammaron's Curly White. The guy I met was Ammaron the one he named it after. Small world

That would have been Rick Stone.

This Plumeria 'Beach Blush' has been blooming nonstop since the start of the season, on all 7 tips.

This Plumeria we call *25* because my DH gave it to me for our 25th anniversary. I am pretty sure it is 'Plastic Pink' aka 'Royal Hawaiian' but it was unnamed at the time we bought it.

Ok didn't know his dad's name. He was a really nice guy and had tons of plumeria

Rick is a former president of the Plumeria Society of America.

We've moved on to 'Summer blooms'
