I'm still waiting for my plumeria to bloom. How long do they usually take from the time you first see the buds to the actual blooms? I'm just wondering because I'm getting a bit worried about the temperatures at night. It dipped to 4C (39F) one night last week and has been getting down to about 6C (43F) lately. I was wondering if I should put the plant in the solarium. I don't want to lose the flowers. But it has been getting up to about 22C (72F) in the daytime outside so I thought it might still like being out on the patio. Is that too cold for them at night? At what temperature is it time to bring them in for the winter?

This is what the buds look like now.
