I like that Rim Fire, Gigi. Does it root easily like a white/yellow?

Thank You! I bought this rooted from BBB so not sure if this one roots easy.

This is one of a few rooted cuttings I purchased from BBB more than a couple years ago (at the height of my plummiediction) but left neglected in half gallon pots so never gave me a bloom until I transferred to bigger pots.

It's not the most generous bloomer to start with.

That probably explains why there are not a lot of buds

Now if we could grow a blooming plant like that, how great would that be? Hurray! Has anyone successfully grafted 3-6 different varieties to a root stock and gotten various flowers to bloom from it? I guess the trick is to somehow have more than one in bloom at the same time.

I agree That's what I was attempting to with my grafting experiments but they all failed.

What was the root-stock, Gigi? Did you try to graft several scions at the same time or space them all out? I have a feeling that getting one to "take" at a time might just work, but of course, I have never done anything like that. I have only grafted to a cut-off plumeria (usually Celadine) and haven't tried to graft one (or more) to the mid-section of a plant.

I used the Hausten White since I already have a successful DPS attached to it.
