Plumeria story..................
Okay Ken you want to hear this Plummie story. I think I posted it somewhere before because I tried so hard. I wanted to have a Plummie growing on my patio since I came back from Hawaii.
I do not know the name they were sent to me in a trade they were 12" long. I studied every thing to growing them. The first 3 yrs. I let them sleep through the winter. When they did not bloom I started keeping them growing through the winter. Purchased every fertilizer that was suggested I try. They continued to grow all these beautiful leaves and getting taller and taller. They were in full sun from morning until night the last 3 yrs.
Finally because they were taking up prime real estate on the patio and not flowering I used them as glad support. At least I had flowers.
Yr. 4 this is what one of them looked like and everyone said I was going to get a blooms soon.
Finally Yr 6 they were taller than me, about 6' tall and no bloom I pulled in all my tropicals and kept my promise to let old man winter have his way with them.
It could have been a couple of reasons. The lady said she had bread them from seed so they could be any color. The first 2 yrs I only had them in part sun. The third thing,,,,,,,they hated me for bringing them from Florida to North and the only way they could punish me was not to bloom.
