A friendly gardener from Bakau botanical garden in Gambia (West Africa) gave me a cutting of a yellow-flowered Plumeria during our two-week trip there in February-March. I kept it in water for some time and some roots started to emerge, until the part of the cutting in the water started to rot, and I decided to cut it off. I did it, then took some powder rooting hormone and gently rubbed the cutting with it, and planted it in a big pot. After some weeks I noticed slow growth on the plant and noticed it was flowebuds.
I am so excited as the buds are finally starting to open! They have grown during the week we were in Romania, and the buds look red, but the flowers should be yellow. It really took a long time for them to grow to this stage and I have really been worrying if they dry and drop off or something, but luckily not.

Here they are.. Seems to like the hot weather here.
