Congrats, Nery! That's a real beauty! You got two of the best reds: Scott Pratt and Irma Bryant. Hmmm, I see a Hilo Beauty in your future:-) That's a nice red too. By the way, I get bent cuttings all the time. They are easy to straighten out. Just stick a bamboo stake straight down right next to the plumie and use a green plastic stretchy tie to tie the plumie tightly to the stake at the bottom. Then put a tie around the top part of the bent plumie and tie it as tightly as you can. Each week, slide the top tie even further upwards and tie it tighter if necessary. You will have a straight plumeria in no time. This picture shows a couple that I've done like that, and they are nearly straight now.
