Not odd at all. Garden Web Forums used to be popular, with many more users than it has now. Then it became houzz, and things went down hill. Users dropped out and went to other forums. I log in this morning and find only ONE comment, and that one is your reply to someone else, whose original comment is nowhere to be seen.

Hi, John -

Are you saying you don't see Gary's original post on this thread?

Apparently there was a problem with my server or some other point in between because I'm seeing all comments now.

Nice flowers, Mine is growing from seed. It looks like Pudica.

Wow ... Does that bloom have a gardenia fragrance? It certainly does look like p. Pudica, Boom!

p. Pudica has the fiddle shaped leaves, though. You can see the pointed tips here:

... and here is the leaf alone:

I grew this from seed. I noticed that it had odd shape of leaves from the start. I took this picture last year when it had its first bloom.

Hi, Boom -

If your leaves are "fiddle" shape it's definitely p. Pudica. I asked whether yours had a gardenia fragrance because I've seen a similar bloom with fragrance & a different leaf that is not p. Pudica.

How many plumerias have you grown from seed? Takes lots of patience, huh! I am growing my very first plumerias from seed thanks to the generosity of John Perilloux. On average, how long did yours take from germination to bloom? 2-3 years? Oh, the wait!

All the best to you.

Not fiddle shape leaves and no fragrance. Usually if you grow plumeria from seeds, it will not guarantee that each seedling looks alike a mother's plant even though they come from the same pod. I guess this seeding has some trace of pudica because the resemble shape of its leaves and the color of flowers.

After it flowered last year, there are 4 branches shooting out.

I grew too many and gave many away to many members on this site. It took a few years to flower.
