Description
This is a plumeria from my sister's backyard in Huntington Beach, California. She has a BLACK thumb (got that from our mom, who could kill a fake plant!), it's my brother in law who grows these beautiful flowers. He has his "plumeria farm", gives them away the way other people give away excess zucchini!! This actually grows everywhere, I keep trying to start one in my greenhouse, but so far haven't succeeded--never fear, I won't give up, I am determined!!
Interestingly enough, the plumeria with the most color has no scent at all, it's the plain, simple ones that smell so heavenly.

Quite a beautiful and impressive flower.
My ex bought some kind of special indoor plant grow at a houe party that smelled like horse urine and I had to put all the plants in the shower for a complete flush after they began dying. Water and acidity are major items. Does it need lime or humus? Can it go without water for long periods or must it be watered at least once a week. Some stuff like Bandini or Milorganite has no nitrogen and is as inert as concrete though it is soft and pulp-like. Try something like 20-12-12 or even 40-12-12.
Plumeria are very beautiful and sweet smelling flowers. I have one in my backyard. Good luck in growing yours. The people in Hawaii use them to make lei. Especially, during Merrie Monarch time. Aloha
superb color
Wonderful.
Perfect. 5+!!!
Wonderful peach color. I have two white and red. White has a wonderful sweet scent a red not at all. We use to just break off one "arm" when dropped all the leaves and wrapp it with foil and put it in a fridge for 2 weeks. Then plant it. Late spring will see a new leaves shooting out.
wonderful color this is
Almost has the color and the texture of a peach...I'm not sure I've ever seen this flower...it's beautiful, love the shape of the petals....thank you for sharing.
Magnificent lighting and blended color effects in this portrait of what could certainly pass for the fan blade of an electric fan, Marilyn! I hope that makes scents to one and all.
