Five outta Ten ain't bad!

11 years ago
last modified: 11 years ago

I'm so excited about early inflos that I'm literally hopping around these days, humming a happy song!

Here's what I'm anticipating from my Top Ten so far:

  1. Makaha Sunn #2. This one regenerated an inflo on a new branch that was fused to last fall's inflo, which fell off when I dug the plant up and brought in the house for winter. Crazy! Here it is in the fall. Squeeeeee!
  1. Pink Diamond #2. Yeah, this is one of only a few I have duplicates of, and it's an amazing beauty! If my two alternate blooming each year I won't need to get a third.
  2. Desert Sunrise, crowning on all three tips. Whooot!
  3. Gina. I don't even need to see the flowers in person to know it will be in my Top Ten.
  4. Thornton's Lemon Drop. As Bill says, not the most exciting flower but it blooms its head off.

6-10 are still up in the air, depending on who blooms for me this season ;)

What's getting ready to pop for everyone out there?

    You know I love your awesome collection and I can't wait to see more pictures!!

    It sounds like you are going to have an awesome season!! :-). Still can't believe what Makaha Sunn is up too!! Sweet!!!

    I have India blooming and I'm really excited at the coloration already and this inflo started early.. To think what the heat will do to the blooms later?


    I also have a noid called " Jeff's noid #4"blooming...

    Gee Pet has a nice inflo,

    Outburst, Queen Amber , Pink Salmon will be opening in a few weeks!! Sure hope they have some coloration like India...

    I'm ready for a great season!!!

    Ooh, she's beautiful, Laura! One of the original oranges, really. And that second bud looks like it's doing a Bali Whirl thing, too.

    I'm excited to see pics of all your rare beauties when they pop!!

    Love all of the " inflo" news.. Sooooo exciting!!!

    Jen.. I have seen the orange in this one already and I'm excited and yes, two other blooms are doing the Bali twist lol... The others look normal..

    Hi Jen!

    How exciting!! Jen, Makaha is gorgeous, and your India is a beauty, Laura!!

    In my garden, I see 25 plants with inflos so far. Here are 10 of them-

    Elizabeth Thornton's LD, Maui Beauty, Delfel, Desert Sunrise, Vibrance, Southern Cross, Christina, Wildfire, J-105, and a no ID tree from my boys. The no id is blooming for the first time, so I am excited to see what it will look like. It was also exciting to see Wildfire sending up inflos as she was the one that Laura and James (with their excellent vision - heehee) helped me rescue earlier last year. She is one tough cookie!

    On another note, I think Musk Rainbow is on Aussie time. She just dropped her last leaf!

    Here's to a great season!

    Smiles :-)

    Very nice J. I am looking forward to seeing the Pink Diamond again. This spring was a heavy pruning for some of my larger plants so we will see how that impacts things. But there are quite a few smalls and mids starting to push out.

    E, glad Jeannie Jr. is going to bloom for you. That is interesting how its growing.

    I'm going to call j105 with one tip out of 3 showing so far.

    Thanks, ladies! And gentleman!

    E, I'm looking forward to a field trip to your patch soon, maybe on the way to K's patch? :) I'd really love to smell Bali Palace and see CS3 and Jeannie.

    Wendi, that's great that you're expecting Wildfire blooms, as well as some other goodies! Wildfire seems to be a fairly shy bloomer. Mine is several years old now and still not budging. Very sweet of the boys to add to your collection, too!

    K, sometimes I think I'll offer one of my Pink Diamonds for a trade with one of my TX plumie peeps, but then I think, "No! I love them both too much!" LOL. How about I trade you some PD blooms for J105 blooms instead? Mine is now down three tips from winter damage so I'm not optimistic about seeing blooms anytime soon. Can't wait to visit your blooming yard, too.

    Great to hear about the progress in all of your patches! I'm excited to see all your blooms 'futures'...it seems this year is shaping up to be a memorable one in my patch also! Honorable mentions include: mango brush, Scott Pratt, Kelly moragne, three jj bone yard picks, jj jubilee, jj shooting star, jj wizard, jj divine x8 tips, jj supernova, jj nevita, Thai Dane, thongtaveechok Thai, jj red hot, and jj hearts desire. I can't wait for these and some others are still ambiguous, but here's hoping...

    Hi Jen! How long have you had your Makaha Sunn? I only got mine this year, a grafted one from FC, and wondering if it's one that takes it's own sweet time. It looks like a nice inflo on it. Did you mean that inflo is from last year and it has begun to bloom again? I have quite a few inflo's from last year pushing a flower or two, but none that are producing like that!

    Post pics when your Pink Diamond blooms again. I purchased one after seeing photos of yours. Gorgeous!

    Raspberry Sundae is going to be blooming for me, soon. Love this one! Remember when you posted pics of it from the PSA sale? Everybody went cuckoo for a time! lol

    Jandey...hope to meet you when you are out here. Just not sure yet if we are around or RVing....

  • 11 years ago

    I'm selfishly thinking of all the pictures you all are going to post for me to see soon!!! HAHA!!

    Y'all, I went inflo hunting yesterday and I'm getting really excited. My patch is going nuts. It may be all the rain we've had?

    Add to my list:

    Waimea on 2 tips!!

    Loretta

    A may-be-a Mini White

    A may-be-a Lava Flow

    Goldilocks!!

    Golden Pagoda!!

    Gina on 2 tips!!

    Of the ones mentioned in my previous post, I've now spotted multiples on Bali Palace (all 4 tips!!) Desert Sunrise actually has 5 inflos!! I count 8 inflos on CS3 so far, lost count on Divine, I'll have to count again. Kimo has 2 inflos I think (that's because I publicly shamed it calling it stingy. Then I root pruned it.)

    WOOOOOOO-HOOOOOO!!!

    Mona, MS was one of the first cuttings I bought when I was starting to get serious about plumeria in 2010. I foolishly tried to root over winter, and by spring I panicked and sent it to Florida Colors to graft (it was pushing an inflo so that took serious discipline). That's how I got two plants as Luc grafted each tip. Then the two grafted plants sat there just growing into long lanky single tip plants, over 4ft each, before finally blooming last spring.

    According to Hetty, once established it blooms reliably. That is actually a new inflo off a weird fusion of the old inflo and a new branch. Never saw that before, but am thrilled to have it!

    Phalanx, I'm with Emily and really looking forward to pics of your list!

    Rox, I'm super excited about my trip and hope to meet you then!

    Nice lists everyone. Blooms and pictures are always easy trades. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's hard work.
