Hi Kukiat! Beautiful, beautiful photos! I just love all of them!

My Siam Red did not make it. I tried to root it, and when it started to rot, I sent the remaining piece to Luc to graft for me, but I think the piece didn't make it because it was not returned with the others. I have sent him an email about it. He did graft the Siam Ruby for me successfully though, and I think you said you liked that one better anyway.

Your second plumeria that you posted is P. species tuberculata. I got one this past summer and sent it to Luc to graft for me. It is struggling right now to survive after returning from being grafted, and one of it's tiny branches has died back, but it has two other tiny branches. If it makes it, I will surely send you a cutting of it. I'll take a picture of mine and post it here as soon as my camera batteries finish charging.

I love that dwarf one!

I am so happy to know that the best fragrant plumeria is P. alba because I have one thanks to you! Yippee!

That variegated plumeria is just lovely. I have some seedlings with lots of red in their leaves, and they start to turn that color just before they fall off. I'll try to find a picture of one of mine as an example. You are right that it doesn't look like a typical variegation. Due to the irregularity of it, it may be the FMV. Here is one of my seedlings below with red leaves. They change to the red color of your picture only when they are about to fall off.

Brad, that is so exciting! What a great trade:-)

Edited to fix spelling.
