I'm so sorry to hear that.. they still are beautiful.. lucky you! I only have single petal blooms that show no signs of buds as of yet.. crossing my fingers :)

Thanks, Chuy. This is only the second time it's bloomed. This particular plant was grown from seed planted in 2016. I'm hoping the colors will stabilize as the plant matures.

If I shared seeds with you last year, there's a good chance they'll bloom multi petal and in colors. Most of my seeds have been from KO. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks, Rachel. I didn't even think about that. This one and several others are actually due for a repot for the new growing season. I do feed my plants every week at 1/4 strength beginning at age 1 month.

We don't really have a winter here. Our current temps are at an overnight low of 73, daytime high of 88 degrees F, with humidity at about 83%.

LOL ... Yeah, the weeping baby does make me laugh. Thanks again for your insight. Hopefully, I'll have a gorgeous bloom to show off come mid summer. I really want to graft that bloom.

Its just been cooking in its bud it has been happening to me to.

Don't worry about it. Many kinds of plants, including adeniums, are temperature sensitive and it effects the colors of the flowers. You should see how wild and crazy some of my tropical hibiscus and African violets can get with temperature variations. They are way more reactive than adeniums. You'd never imagine the flowers could possibly come from the same plants! So I see completely different looking flowers on them in winter than I get in summer.

Anyway, once temperatures settle back to what you are more used to, your flowers will likely go back to normal as well. Feeding and PH can also have some effect but it's usually not as dramatic. I agree with Rachel that other things can also effect so good to check.

Peter was right ... It appears the bloom was "cooking" in its bud too long under the hot sun and blanched. The subsequent blooms on this one all came out the nice peachy color in the 1st picture.

Plumeria are pretty close relatives of adeniums, and they're notorious for taking a few years to get the “mature bloom”.

I think that's from about ones grown from seed, though. Apparently it isn't until the second or third bloom that you get an idea of what it will ultimately look like.

Thanks, this is the 2nd blooming. That one bud took forever to open. I think, like Peter said, it just 'cooked' and color faded in its bud. The rest of the blooms opened really beautiful, just like that first one.

Wow! This beauty is proving to be a prolific bloomer. It's on its 3rd bloom already at age 1 yr, 5 mos. The plant is only 10" tall. As soon as it's completed this blooming cycle, I will prune it for additional branching and try to root the cuttings.

Really like this flower. It’s going to look spectacular through Spring/Summer.

Bloomed again this morning ...

Hi Maria. I have a few plumeria. I would dearly need some advice. Since it is off topic how can I PM you? Or my email is : kawolski@ymail.com. Thanks

Yes, of course you can message me. But I am hardly an expert ... just have great growing conditions. What works in my climate may not work in yours.

Today's blooms:

Well, Rinoa's Sugar Rush has certainly been full of surprises. This, a single, is its latest bloom:

Scratching my head!
