Thanks, Kell! LOL! I could definitely use a few more, but I have run out of room and have resorted to pulling plants out of the ground now to make room for the plumies. Look what was there before that I had planted a couple of years ago:

Hi Terrie, no, I don't think so. Some cultivars are said to be terrific bloomers, and some cultivars are said to be tempermental. Great reliable bloomers can come in all colors. Some of them include Celadine (white/yellow), Slaughter Pink (light pink), California Bud's Sally (pink), Bali Whirl (double white/yellow), etc. Most plumerias just need a regular fertilizer regimen to bloom well. Most average growers, who are not gardeners, don't realize that they have to feed their plumeria trees to get them to bloom well, but even sometimes with a steady fertilizer program, some plumerias can be stubborn for a few years until they gain some maturity. This is especially true with seedlings.
