Wow! Karyn, congratulations, nice to see what's going on with inflos on your cutttings. You are way ahead of me which is proof that you're quite a pro. My DW and SP haven't shown any signs of having anything yet. So far, Celadine have been doing quite well showing their leaves more than others. At this time, I see inflos on Celadine, Tillie and Yellow Intense. Most of Thai ones are still struggle to put out their leaves but a few do.
Boom

Thanks for the vote of confidence but I think it has more to do with the cuttings. lol I just wish they didn't take so long to bloom but they are worth the wait.
Karyn

Looking good Karyn...Nice pictures. I also got some cuttings from Boom. They are all doing very well. One has a large inflo coming out. Of course, that is the one I traded to my buddy. But the 2 I kept are growing beautifully. Thanks Boom!!

John

My pleasure, John, and I'm very glad to know that they are doing very well. LOL, don't forget to take them to Disneyland this summer as you said.

Hi Karyn,
Congrats to the max on all your inflo's coming on your cuttings. Happy you are going to have flowers. Mine haven't got any leaves yet, boy are slow.

John.. you are taking your inflo's to Disneyland.. Ok? ha

Hopefully I told Boom Disney World...It's a whole lot closer. But I asked the plumeria and they never answered so I guess they don't want to go! Oh well....

I had planed on counting inflos for this thread while I was labeling my plumeria today. I have at least 4 inflos, but decided to stop because a huge lizard has claimed my plumeria as its territory and I didnÂt wish to scare him (or her) off. . It has to be the ancestor of most of the other lizards on my property, because it is 4-5 times the size of the rest of them. Below is a picture of my most advanced plumeria, a NOID red planted this year with one inflo. My plumeria patch guardian can be seen in the pot to the left, a Dwarf Pink Singapore with an inflow.

Below is a close up of the protector of my plumeria.

An accurate count and names of plants with inflos will follow after the lizard has finished sunning itself.

Your plumies look great and I love the lizard. It almost looks like a baby bearded dragon. Here's one of my lizards who would probably love to sun herself in the garden. Too bad that won't be happening. If I let her out I'd never see her again and she couldn't survive our winter. I'm not even sure she'd know how to catch food for herself. My geckos will just have to be satisified crawling around inside.

Ok, the Plumeria Guardian has retired for the evening and I was able to get an accurate count of inflos. So far I have one each on Vera Cruz Lutea, Defel, Dwarf Pink Singapore, Guilott Sunset, and the NOID Red. All of these are new cuttings planted this year, so I wasnÂt expecting a lot of inflos until next year. My NOID rainbow has two inflos from last year that may or may not hang in there and produce more flowers.

Karyn, I take it that pretty gecko is a pet you keep in a terrarium? I think I saw you mention on another forum that you have aquariums as well. You have some serious plant and pet addictions!

Philip

Phillip I'm guilty of not only a plant obsession but an eclectic assortment of pets. I've been interested in plants and animals for as long as I can remember. My kids also love animals, plants they can do without. My poor husband was never a big animal lover and he's completely surrounded. He does draw the line at my bringing a snake into the house. lol
Karyn
PS: The geckos are indoor pets. The parents are in a 75 gal tank and a couple of the babies I've kept are in smaller tanks. They are desert animals so I just have a few cactus & succulents in their tanks. I'd love chameleons in a tropical setting but they are incredibly difficult to keep. If I can't give an animal what it needs to thrive I won't keep it.

Karyn- We also have a leopard gecko (Henry) and a bearded dragon (puff) who spend the school year in Sherry's classroom zoo with the frogs, lizards and salamanders.
Phillip- I like your bug destroyer. Those are pretty mellow lizards and will even learn to take meal or wax worms from your hand with a little training. I have an alligator lizard that thinks it owns my plumeria garden. He is not so nice but we have a peace treaty going at the moment. Bill

Hi PHilip.
You can keep that lizard, ick. Don't care for them. I see an occasional one, thank heavens they run.

congrats on the inflos coming, thats great. ARe these the cuttings you started the same time I did? None of mine have leaves yet. Hope.
Karen B.

Hi Karen,

Yes, all but the NOID red are cuttings I bought on eBay this year. The red spent the winter on top of a bookcase in my study and was starting to put out claws and an inflo before I planted it. It was more stressed than my other cuttings and I wonder if that has something to do with the rush to put out leaves and bloom. We are going to have a heat wave this week, so I expect my other cuttings will take off and catch up with this one.

Aww, I think the lizard is great, sheÂs almost ten inches long and rather pudgy. She may be about to lay a clutch of eggs. I want her to hang around. Arizona is having an outbreak of grasshoppers, fortunately not so many in my area. I also hear a few crickets in my yard and would like her and her descendants to take care of them. The best thing about her is that she eats scorpions! My relatives have found two scorpions in their home in the three years theyÂve lived here, IÂve yet to see one.

IÂve put in some Austin roses, which other lizards have staked out and are protecting from chewing insects. IÂm getting into roses because they donÂt require chemotherapy for mold, mildew, rust, and black spot in this climate. IÂve never cared for growing them in the past because I didnÂt want to poison the landscape in order to keep them alive. I donÂt like to use chemicals because I donÂt want to harm wildlife or other peopleÂs pets. There is a covey of quail in the neighborhood that spend a lot of time in my yard.

Philip

Bill, Sherry's classroom and butterfly garden must be a wonderful place for the kids. The crafts, pets and plants make it such an inviting space. That's so important, especially in the early grades. If the classroom is someplace they enjoy being they'll be eager to learn. Her students are probably some of the highest achievers. Cudos to her : )

Phillip I agree. I'd much rather use natural controls and not add chemicals to the environment. Besides that they're fun to watch.
