A few blooms from Madeira
11 years ago
Aloha plumeria friends!
Wanted to share a few beauties from the Portuguese island of Madeira to bridge the gap from still snow-covered German patios to hopefully many blooms in the months ahead. Yes, there might have been a few cuttings in my suitcases. :-)
Here's to a great season ahead!!

Roxanne, these are all unnamed, as far as I'm concerned. The first is a striking rainbow the locals just call "tricolor" with a sweet, heavy peach scent with vanilla undertones and can be found all over the island. With heat and humidity it turns quite pink.
(Yes, the same plumeria.)
The others don't even have a name with the locals - they just call them red plumeria, white plumeria, etc.
