Thanks Brittany, but be careful! Some parts of Phoenix get much colder than Yuma. I would hate for you to lose your collection. What part of Phoenix are you in?

Thanks Dete, you got pics of your plants? Would like to see how things compare here in Yuma, to Tucson. I would imagine, that with the milder weather and intense monsoons, your plants are looking really good about now. Your right, in areas where you can plant them in the ground, Plumerias in Yuma, do do much better than those in pots. The plants I put in the ground compared to those put in pots, at the same planting date, have much fuller inlfos, with larger flowers, and longer bloom times.

lopaka, I hope you are getting better by the day! Compliments coming form the likes of you are greatly appreciated. You always have Awesome pictures, of the greatest varieties. Are they taking good care of the monument of me in the center of Davie, FL?

Clare, again thank you. I will be holding on to that branching plant for sure. I have 2 more that branch just like it, but are slower growing. I would like to find an intermediate grower. A shrub type. These may fit they bill. They are faster growing than a true dwarf, but since they branch so often, they do not grow very tall, very fast. Its still too early to tell though.
Evelyn has been very good to me too. She always delivers what she advertises, and is easy to get ahold of for questions. She knows about the "splash" virus and has only sent me clean plants. Unlike some others from Hawaii.

Mickey, it is very dry until mid to late July. At that point, we get the humidity just like the rest of AZ. Just a lot less rain.

From one of those in Hawaii, told it was a common red.
Thanks all,
Davie
