I was just talking with a friend and fellow grower, and we both noticed how all our plants are showing less vigor and blooming a lot more slowly this year. The slow blooming is definitely noticable, and it probably has to do with the record cold weather we had here this past winter and unusually cold spring. However, I have a large amount of inflo's coming in on new wood, which is also something new so I'll probably put all plumerias with inflo's inside my portable greenhouse so that they will bloom over the winter. A lot of plumies made a great showing this year. I've had 84 different cultivars bloom this summer.

Edited to fix spelling;-) "Usually" should have been "unusually."
