Anyone know what this are?

11 years ago

Hello everyone,

i been adding plumerias to my plumeria collection. I been buying rooted plants and some cuttings too. I bought two cuttings from a guy that I bought plumerias before that bloom like this pictures I attached. First picture is more orange and the other one orangy peachish like a fussy peach kind of. He didn't know what they were called so idk what variety they are but hope to identify them. I know that their is tons of plumerias and when you get a NOID it's mostly likely always going to be a NOID but just curious to compare and or possibly identifiy these two. I got more cuttings from him that are Noids with very nice blooms too. Will appreciate any input. Thanks!

    Whatever they are, they are really nice! Where do you live and what are your temps like? You probably know that plumeria flowers can deepen their colors in hot weather compared to cooler weather. This can make ID'ing very difficult.

    Also, is there a fragrance to them? What about growth habit? Are these in the ground or in pots?

    They'll have to be no-IDs for now, but they look to be really, really nice selections!

    Dave,

    thanks! I currently live in Riverside CA. CA is always sunny in general but here in Riverside it's really sunny so that could make them get these colors.

    When I got the cuttings I didn't smell the blooms. So idk if they do or do not have a fragrance. Regarding the growth habit I don't know because I am barely going to grow them I'm rooting the cuttings. The guy had them in pots. What I do know is that the brighter Orange one in the first picture has the normal plumerias wood or branches thickness and the second picture one the fussy peachish one has thinner wood and all the branches look like the older wood of the regular plumerias it doesn't have any green branches. It might be a miniature? I read on GW somewhere about miniatures but I don't know much about them.

    yes that's what I thought. They will always be NOIDS but they are gorgeous.

    Katie,

    thanks,

    ok so here is how I acquired the cuttings. I go to this outdoor fleet market that is about 30 min away from me and I purchase concrete statues and concrete pots for my garden and I also find great deals on plants. Well this guy that sells plants and plumeria plants and cuttings from his trees. I started buying plants from him then cuttings. Because I would ask him do you have dark colors like reds and dark pinks. And he would take a look at his plumerias and then sell me cuttings of the ones he would be willing to share cuttings from. Then when I asked for orange cuttings he said I do have some orange varieties but I'll have to see if I can get you a cutting. For sometime he wouldn't bring me orange plumerias but he would bring me other nice cuttings of other colors that were nice. Then I asked if he has kapalua and he said yes I do but I don't want to cut anything from it for now because he trimmed it last year and sold the cuttings. Then he told me if I liked rare plumerias that he has a rooted 15 inch confetti plumeria for $75 if I wanted it. And I said I would think about it. But that I definitely wanted a kapalua when he had any. Then one day a month later he said I have an orange cutting for you that I accidentally broke from one of my trees it's only about 15 inches but it has an inflo and it's already started to grow 2 branches and he said he has already potted it up very recently and I said yes I want it. So the following week I went to go get it as he said he would take it for me but he didn't have it he said he forgot. I thought he no longer wanted to sell it to me or somthing because he would never forget to bring me something he promised me. So he said he would bring it the following week. So I went and he had it! Then he said I got this other cutting that my freakin dog broke off but it didn't have an inflo but he took me some flower from the mother plant. So I bought both. And I cut off the inflo which I really didn't want to but I read on GW it's best to remove it to put the energy in to rooting. So I removed it and I put it in water along with the other cutting and water rooted then a bit. When I saw the popcorn things I took them out and put some rooting hormone on a spotted them up in 1 gallon pots with lots of perlite and they are still rooting. I really hope they do root. As of now they look good. And all the other cuttings I got from him I rooted the same way and they have and or are rooting. I did ask him if he would sell me more cuttings from both of them incase these didn't take but he said he really didn't want to cut off anything from them right now but he will in the future. So I was luck the dog and himself each broke a branch lol! I love that dog! Lol

    if only he broke a branch from Kapalua. Lol. No I wish no harm to the guys plants I really am appreciative of all the ones he has shared with me. I will be patient and wait for other cuttings when he is ready to share. Plus I told him I would want the Kapalua rooted if he could do it for me when he is ready to share and he said he would do it for me. I asked him to because I read on GW that Kapalua is hard to root. so here you go that's how I got the cuttings. Sorry I probably made it a way way longer story that what you wanted to hear/read lol

    Oh wow! I just saw how long is the comment I just added. Sorry guys you don't had to read it if you don't want too!

    Hi Jesse - I must say you had a plumie adventure!! Because it's really hot in Riverside, make sure you keep the rooting cutting in shaded area.

    Kasie,

    yes I did lol. And yes I do have them in shaded area. I did graft one of the tips that I cut off from the fussy peachish one to a cutting that had rooted last year of a variety that wasn't that nice so I sacrificed it to hopefully have it take. So hopefully either the cutting or the graft takes. I grafted it on July 29 and it's looking good so hopefully it does take.
