Just wanted to share my happiness... PLUMERIA flowers!! [View all]

So...

A few years back I ordered a bunch of Plumeria seeds from bradsbudsandblooms.com

Got like 1-2 seed packs for 4-5 different cultivars.

Had no problem germinating... gave away lots of 18" started plants and kept the 5-6 best ones.

That was FOUR years ago.

They're not really fond of SoCal... lose their leaves every winter. I though they'd never bloom.

Just last week I'm noticing a flower cluster growing and taking shape. I can see the bright pink tightly wound flowers growing and I'm just counting the days until they unfurl.

I'm soooooo psyched!!!

I'll post a pic when they start opening.

Should look like this:
