Super round, coming right up!

9 years ago

Followed closely by Divine, J4, Penang Peach, and Irma #5. This super round has inflos on all 3 tips and all 3 tips are each branching 3 ways. Sadly many of the buds are dropping, possibly from all the 20" of rain we got from Harvey. This inflo is particularly interesting because if you look right in the middle, there is a new tip growing!

    You've got some great Blooms on the way...I may have to get Super Round and Divine. Looks like "Harvey" spared some of your plants, fortunately.

    Thanks! Yah that seem to all be bouncing back now that things are finally starting to dry out.

    Super Round is great. While i think the hot weather colors are very nice when consolidated with the flower shape I am actually liking the slightly cooler color variation over the last few days.

    Well, one flower has opened. All the other buds are way behind. 3 total inflos going so maybe I'll have a fuller picture in a few weeks.

    Chris, it's spectacular. Leaves look lush and beautiful too. Gotta have one.

    Here is a bloom opening today. Wanted to show the color variation when it is overcast and cooler like it was today. Still waiting for a couple other inflos to pop and get a fuller head of blooms. This inflo seems to only want to do one at a time.

    Chris, yours are so beautiful. You really have some plumeria magic. Question for you. I'm looking for Penang Peach and striking out everywhere. Assuming you got it at JJ's? They have some now but large and $75 and too big and too pricey for me. If you got it elsewhere let me know.

    Again your Super round is amazing.

    Thank you Nancy! I bought my PP from Florida colors but they are probably out of stock. I would email JJs and ask them if they have any penangs in one gallons pots. Sometimes their online catalog doesn't reflect what they may actually have. Two occasions I have done this same thing and they ended up having one gallon plants. My Penang just started blooming, I'll have to post some pics. I love the smell of PP

    Hi Chris, I know PP is K's favorite and that says a lot too. Thanks for the tip about JJ's- I'll try them. Love to grow from cuttings but I'll settle for 1 gal if I can get. Thanks again.

    It's definitely more rewarding when you root the plant yourself and it blooms, but I don't like to wait! I want blooms nowww! So I mostly buy rooted plants. I can see why people call PP thier favorite. Mine is young tho, so I'll have to give it a little time before I call it a fav. Right now my favorite is J4! Huge beautiful blooms and it is so vigorous. If you can't find a PP, I would recommend a California Sunset. I have my PP and CS right next to each other and I literally can't tell the difference as far as leaves and growth habit go. The CS is about to start blooming so I'll have to do a comparison post or something. Plus CS is only 17$ rooted from JJs!

    JJ California Sunset is a Penang Peach Seedling. Most people cannot tell the difference without closely looking them over...including me. I haven't bothered with any of the CS cultivars because I have a great Penang Peach. Nancy, I PM'ed you.

    FC's stock probably took some significant damage during Irma but should bounce back...when compiled with their leadership being out for personal reasons they may take a bit to get back on their feet.
