Its going to be close to a month a long one lol! Will be well worth the wait though.
i usually have to wait 6 weeks during the growing season.
They come up right along....pix was taken today.
It just has a growth spurt. Full sun, plenty of water and some bloom booster fertilizer. It's taking off.
Bloom booster is a good fert. most use dynamite slow release fert you apply once a year. Theres all kinds of info on this that Clare did. This is the part that kills me the wait!
I'm okay with waiting. There are other that about to bloom. 'Dwarf Pink Singapore' is about to bloom and other perennials. :)
ok heres one a seedling first time to flower looks like there going to be about the same time
Wow what a long inflo your going to be enjoying flowers for quite some time
Dana, I think mine is a week or two ahead of yours. :)) Here they're today;
Looking real good I think your right buds look the same color I'm hoping for something good :)
Just in 2 days;
Couple days past;
A little color is showing through;
slow day at the office... =)
they seem to move at a snail's pace. open already! LOL i swear it took my celadine like two months to open. it must be sick!
? Mr. D. Hope things are going well for you. Ready everyone? Slow isn't this plumeria. Here it!
The first flowers open.
woo hoo! so worth the wait lily_love. that looks awesome from a distance. please take a close-up when you have time.
I will have to wait, there is a sweet Mallard hen sitting on her nest just beneath the plummie, and I didn't want to scare her off. She will need to take a break sometime or another. ^_^
Very nice that would be my luck lol It will bloom for a month and half or more all mine are still going. Thats whats nice about these the long bloom cycle mines proably got a week or 2 shame you can't smell it though
haha! i new there had to be a good reason why you weren't over there getting a closer pic. lol
As per request, here is a close up of the blooms. Enjoy.
very nice! look at all that humidity. :)
I think each plummie has it own fragrant. This one's the fragrant is very sweet.
As the flowers age, more of the yellow tinge is coming through.
Another view, the fragrant is very very sweet. Meanwhile, I've another plummie that is with a newly formed inflo. I'll share pic. of that one when it blooms. It's a pink NOID.
In its full glory. ^_^
Okay folks, so that it takes roughly a month from the budding of the new inflorescent until it's in full bloom. I hope this thread will help some of us new members getting acquanted with growing/enjoying these beautiful plants. Over and out.
Another new inflo. is on the making. This one is going to be pink blooms.
What I thought was going to be a pink bloom, it turns out red. A pure red.
Here is it;
Ah hah, two more of my cultivars are making inflo. One is 'Kona hybrid' and the other is 'Raspberry'.
Hey Lily_love, my family lived near Wetumpka for 11 years and I didn't notice that many Plumeria around when we were there. (Maybe I wasn't looking for them). What kind of soil do you have where you are? Our soil was VERY sandy with lots of rocks.
Hi Ladypearl, we treat plumerias as container plants for they need winter protection here. The soil is a fast drainage medium, for plumerias will not take soggy, standing water. Some of us sink the plant -- pot and all into the ground during the growing season. Then pull them up in late Fall to keep them dormant during the winter indoor.
Okay, thanks!
Thank you islandgirl37, I take you live in an Island? Marathon Fl. How far is that from Isabel Island?
I'm way South, in the Florida Keys. Midway between Key Largo and Key West.
How lovely! I wished I could visit someday.
