What kind is it?

11 years ago

Can anyone give me a name on this one. My wife's mom gave it to me. At the time I didn't even know what a pulmeria was. When I got it it was dormant. I fell in love with the foliage when it started putting on leaves. Only to find out it had a beautiful flower to go with it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks, for the response. From what I read up on them so far. They are many many types, so I understand what you are saying. Unfortunately I'm am having to learn how to propagate them from cuttings. Because last fall I came home to it smashed into three pieces After a cold front blew through.

    I am hooked on them, and will definitely be hanging around here to learn what I can. I have yet to find any Pulmeria locally, but heard a local pond and koi place sells them.

    "SA" and the local pond and Koi place has gotta mean San Antonio and Water Garden Gems?

    Yes, that would be the one. Have you been there? How's the selection? Are you from the area? do you know anywhere else in the area that sell pulmerias?

    Sorry for all the questions. Just trying you aquire as much knowledge as possible. Also looking for local knowledge.

    OMG, K - great sleuthing there!! That didn't even register with me! Kms2, jandey, hunnybunny and I have all been to Water Garden Gems but kms2 and hunnybunny have been most recently. They have a decent selection of Jungle Jack's plants I think, but I'll let kms2 tell you more since he's been there recently.

    They are the only place near us that locally sells Jungle Jack's plants (we'll refer to them as JJ's) otherwise you have to order online and have them shipped. There are a few other good places to buy online if you have trouble buying locally. Occasionally Home Depot or Lowes will have a few plumeria come in but you can usually get better ones buying online because our Lowes around here do not get JJ's like some other parts of the west coast or Florida.

    If you're interested, the 4 of us and sometimes a few more people meet up a few times a year to talk plumerias and such if you'd like to join us sometime. We usually meet at the outlet mall in San Marcos or a place like Water Garden Gems.

    Also do you guys put them in the ground, or keep them in pots?

    They had many of the standard JJ fare. It would be worth it to call Shane and ask him if he still has any Divine left.

    i have most in containers and some in ground.

    I looked up that Divine, and it's a very nice plumeria. I wouldn't mine getting one for sure. Me and the wife will be heading over to water garden gems today. Thanks for the info.

    Got me one. That place is pretty awesome. I had a good long talk with the guy that was helping me. He seems to be a plumeria enthusiast Also. He was telling me about his collection at home, and I was able to pick his brain for a good twenty Mins. Really good experience.
