Meag, Miami Rose and Key West Pink are very similar so I would just get the Miami Rose from FC. You can getting cuttings or graft plants on most of their trees. Some are difficult to root so FC only offers some as grafted plants. If you are going to order Plastic Pink, I would definitely order it as a grafted plant. No, you don't have to have a grafted plant in order to see blooms this year. Cuttings taken from a flowering tree will usually flower in the first year. I've had grafted plants which didn't flower in the first year but which put on wonderful growth instead and then flowered in the second year. That is not uncommon with grafted plants, but they make strong growers because of the graft.

Those are all lovely selections that you picked out. There are so many nice ones that it can be hard to choose.

Don't worry about the light green seedling. It may have a deficiency of some sort that will be resolved. I am repotting seedlings too. Yes, I would think it is time to repot and give them each their own little container. Anytime that you have questions, feel free to ask. Michael, Brad, Roger, Kukiat, Hetty, and many others on this forum are knowledgeable and experienced plumeria growers and are happy to help.

Congrats, Michael! I have a seedling of Key West Red, and I also have a regular Key West Red, and according to FC's list, Key West Red is the same as Cranberry! I didn't know that! I also didn't know that Salsa is also Rose Red. I also have a Rose Red seedling. Seedlings are fun! Congrats on your Quandamooka! I hope you are feeling better these days, Michael. I know about that rush that you speak of. It prompted me to buy 10 from Florida Colors a few days ago.

Here are some of my seedlings that are getting potted:
