Sounds neat! Im trying to think of an Anniversary gift for my hubby. He doesnt do flowers. Maybe I could go mow down one of my flower beds for him and call that his gift. It would save him the trouble of beheading my babies. LOL

Great gift and I'm sure he'll change his toon when they find out they are for him. lol Did you order them from wat9228 (Lilathai Garden)in Thailand? They have loads of rooted variegated plumies (cuttings also) for great prices and reasonable phyto certs. I've been wanting to buy a couple of their rooted ones but don't know anyone that has bought from them.

Aloha Kakahiaka, John.

Enjoy your unusual Plumeria. Variegated Plumeria are so beautiful, and I intend to make some of them part of my collection soon.

Hau'oli a Hanau!

Kristy, John will love his gifts! They sound beautiful! You should just forget to tell him they are his!LOL
Any tips on rooting cuttings? I've killed 2 so far :(

Theresa

Theresa I sent you an email.

Yes Karyn, I thats where I got them. I was scared too so I just bought the cuttings since they were cheaper. Next time I will get rooted plants. It took a while for them to come but they looked great. Had the phytocertification and everything. Theresa I put a few rocks on the bottom and then mix scotts topsoil and perlite and some potting soil together and root them on the concrete during the summer or next to a window in the house during the winter and don't water much. I water them once good and then only when they get really dry until they start making new leaves. They will rot if they stay too wet. John uses plain old dirt and it worked for him until he got into this watering thing. Now he overwaters the dirt ones so I changed the potting mix to make up for it. He used to forget to water them and thats why it worked, lol. I can't wait to see the leaves on these. I got a gold and green leaf one and a one with green and cream and pink leaves. The unrooted ones were only about $8 each if I remember right and with shipping and certificate it was about $32 total for both. Not bad for something so unusual.

I'm glad to hear that they looked good. I've been waiting to hear from someone that bought from them.

oh you enablers you rofl

Lucy

I thought you only do Brugs lol

Lol, I didn't have any named ones so I thought I would look and see what they had and get John something different for his birthday and when I found those I thought they were perfect. He likes variegated stuff.

The stuff on their site is beautiful. I've just been hesitant because of all the problems lately, especially with the Thai plumies. So many people have been getting ripped off. They think they are getting a plumie with these gorgeous flowers and by the time it blooms they find out it's a celadine or an equally common variety. Kind of like the brugs from Filthyrich except the plumies are considerably more expensive.
