Hi guys, bought this plant last year. It has flowered quite a bit but this is the first close to perfect flower I have managed to get. The aroma is not surpassed by anything else I've ever come across, the second photo is of some unflowered seedlings I've been growing for two years. I grow these outside in really cold to hot weather but I make sure they are protected from frost and do not get wet in winter.



And the seedlings, I have lost the name tags but they should be splashes of pink and orange when they flower - maybe next year:

Imo a great pic with a flower of perfect shape!!!! Jean
(btw I love 'frangipani' sweets and cakes that we have here)

This flower always screams the tropics to me. Lovely!

Your plumeria are lovely! I have a couple that I purchased as cuttings on eBay and a few that I've been growing from seed. None of the seedlings are near blooming size yet.

I don't know if it's a matter of plant size or age. But I've seen them blooming when the plants are only about a foot tall. Of course, they will get better and you'll have more of them as the plants grow larger.

Ah ok thanks, the 3 seedlings are maybe 8 inches tall so with some growing maybe next year I will see my first bloom on them.

Those are cool -- they almost look like wax.

Never seen one close! It looks beautiful!

I agree the scent of Plumeria is fabulous. Bolero, how old/tall is your plant in bloom?

[casinobonusese]

The one in bloom would be around 12 inches I guess - 30cm when just measuring the trunk. Including the leaves it would about 20 inches or so.

Very very nice! I used to grow these under HID lamps in Michigan but it's been about ten years now since I have done it. They do quite well.
