Arrrrrgggghhhh. One of my plumerias, after YEARS of not blooming has grown a (i don't know the correct term) bud! At least I think this is what it is .. The weather here has been unusually warm for the last week causing a lot of my plants in the greenhouse to start flowering. The horrible thing is, the weather is suppose to get back to normal (cold with temps in the 20's & 30's at night) tomorrow.

So does this mean the bud will fall off, fail to grow or what? I'm sure it's weeks and weeks from actually producing a flower. Any suggestions? Would it be best for the plant to cut this off? The heater for the gh only goes on if it gets below 38 degrees.
