Weird request, but do any of you living in these areas have a plumeria on your property? I just started growing them this year and I’d love to purchase a cutting from you. Amazing plants. There's literally 1000's of different varieties, sizes, color and smells. The smells can range from candy, perfume or even sun tan lotion! You won't get blooms every year until they're older and established, but the wait is well worth it. Cuttings are simply taken from a plant, dried out for 7-14 days and then placed in well draining soil. It's fairly easy to establish a new plant from a cutting.
My first and only flowering plumeria from May of this year. There's a light, fruity fragrance to this.
A friend gifted me a plumeria before his move. It’s called Penang Peach and smells like peaches when it blooms! It’s very small as he just bought it for $10 at Trader Joe’s. [Reply]

Very cool. The closest we can get to plumeria blooms around here is orchids and they don't have nearly the color variety. [Reply]

They don’t bloom every year and they only do it mostly in summer. Sometimes you’ll go years without any but it’s incredible when they do, like in the picture I posted. Plus it’s much more work to keep them alive here.

I would forever be in debt to you. Give me a charity and I’ll donate to them or I could send you money if you’d prefer. [Reply]
