Hi Mya,

The difference between brugmansias and plumerias is that brugmansias will branch first and then bloom shortly after that whereas, with plumerias, the inflo comes straight up the middle of a plumeria branch from the tip, and branching usually occurs a short time later -- i.e., branching is forced.

Just as an aside, it's true that plumerias do branch when they bloom most of the time, but sometimes they won't branch at all. Here's a picture of one of my yellows that often sends up inflo's without branching. Check out the old inflo's in the back.
