I thoroughly enjoy.....

13 years ago

I thoroughly enjoy coming to this forum and reading the posts from the people that are enthusiasts of the plumeria. I'm surprisingly excited about this new fascination that I have with the with the plumeria and I've been working to get more started to get a collection of my own.

And when I look at what seedlings I have growing, I wish they would grow faster because I know it will be years before I can get any flowers. Even so, I'm excited to see what will will come of that. Currently I have one full-grown plant (well, potted and producing flowers, in the picture) two sticks started, two seeds coming up and several other seeds started. I'm anxious to see what will happen with them.

So, just know that I'll be watching and reading with continued excitement all the things are going on here. I expect to make friends while I am here, and if anybody has any advice suggestions, images of course and any freebies (lol), let me know. And when the time comes I'll be sure to add what I can as well.

welcome to the club Bob. Sounds like you have gotten a good start to your collection already.

Does your white have a name. Its a nice one. The leaves are very dark green and look healthy.

Hi Bob!!!

I want to welcome you to the "feeding frenzy" too! Lol..

We have a wonderful group here and we are all crazy for our Plumeria.

The seeds will be going out soon. I have three pods that are open and two more that will open in a few days. I have you on the list , so I will get them to you soon!

Your tree looks beautiful and healthy!!!

Congratulations!!!

Now ... It has only begun!!! ;-). Hold onto your wallet! ;-)

Have fun!!!

Volkswagens are expensive !! ;-)

This is a joke from one of our members who reminds us that they will all grow to be the size of Volkswagens. So we have to remember this !!!

Take care,

Laura

Welcome Bob! I agree with Mike and Laura - great start to your collection and your blooms are just lovely!!! My yellow / whites are my favorite smelling of my plumies, they can be the most fragrant. We all enjoy hearing from others too so we look forward to your input!

'Hold on to your wallet' LMAO!!! Hilarious but wise words spoken from a wise lady ;)

Hi Bob,

Your plant is beautiful! "Hold on to your wallet" indeed. A lot easier said than done. LOL. Even when I give my wallet to DH I still manage to buy just a few more!

Hello Bob, I agree with everyone else here about holding on to your wallet. I'm guessing that probably won't be the case with all the enablers 'round here :) I've learned to embrace it and give in!

Take care and congrats on your beautiful flower...

Unfortunately, I don't know what these flowers are. My wife picked up the plant from Costco last year for Fathers Day, since I had failed a few times with starting cuttings... She knew I'd love having it actually grow and flower, but now whenever I talk about them, she rolls her eyes and laughs. She knows I'm hooked.

I'll probably not find out what the name is, with so many whites out there.

Thanks everyone for the kind welcome...

See you
