Does it look like I'm getting serious about growing Plumerias this year, OH YEA! We live in N.E.Texas and would have plenty of sun except we are surrounded by very large Oaks and a few Pines. We mostly grow plants that can take a lot of shade but I want to grow Plumerias. Last year I planted about 20 in two groups and once the Bananas came up they were shaded most of the day. Not any more. We are cutting down the Redbuds in the back of the house and that will be my Banana patch. I still have three more Pines to cut down along the drive and I will have the perfect place to grow my Plums.

Most of my Plums are seedlings, a few named. When it warms up a bit I will be getting more. It is hard to acquire many at one time because I have so many interest. Brugs, Gingers, Alocasias and lets not forget peacocks. Life is good.
