The saga of the reluctant plumeria!!!!!
Here is the inflo today. I was very disappointed when I saw that one of the blooms had dropped off - don't know if a bird tried to land on it or what. It hasn't been very hot but we did have a short rain shower last evening with a little wind. I guess that's what did it.
It's not the pink that I had hoped it would be - but, hey! It's mine and I grew it and watched and watched it and I think it is very pretty. It smells sooooo nice also.
Early this morning, the edges of the blooms were rolled back and down. Do all of them act this way when they are in the process of opening?

Clare, now I know what you mean by the stripes on the back of the petal - on the edge, no less! I thought you meant in the middle. Do you recognize it? Does it have a real name?
