LOL, Kell. Your brugs are so much more beautiful than mine so it's only right that my plumerias be more beautiful than yours! LOL! Just kidding, dear. Of course yours will look like that! Silly girl! You've got a couple of green thumbs and lot of fertilizer so you will have no problem getting flowers. With our long growing season, you could get them this fall so start fertilizing, baby;-) MiracleGro or Schultz's Bloombooster/Bloombuilder fertilizer once a week until it starts to get cold.

They might very well be named cultivars. We'll have to look at the blooms when they are open and see what they might have propagated. Some named cultivars are huge growers. Even if they are unnamed, it doesn't make them any less special. I have a bunch of unnamed, unregistered ones in my yard, and I love them just the same as the others.

Well, they look like they have lots of good leaves so they are probably just-rooted cuttings, I would guess. Do they dry out really fast? If you think they are pot bound, you could pot up to a two-gallon or three-gallon, but I wouldn't. It's too late in the season now, and you don't want them sitting in soil which is unused by the roots when colder temperatures come around. Do you have greenhouse? It won't hurt them at all to leave them in their current containers until next spring. If you are going to keep them toasty warm this fall and winter in a greenhouse, then you could pot them up to five-gallon containers. They will have time to get adjusted before you put them in a greenhouse. But, if you are going to put them in a garage or protected place with no heat or light, then I would leave them in their current containers. How cold does it get for you in the wintertime?
