My son-in-law has a large Plumeria tree and he takes it inside every year. I have hinted at getting a cutting from it but he hasn't taken the hint. If I can talk him into getting some cuttings from it where is the best place to get cuttings.

Plumeria cuttings?
Sami, come right out and ask him! LOL! I'm sure he won't mine if he has branches to cut from. Any branch will do! Also check eBay for some good deals and Dutch Auctions.
Clare_Ca you don't know my son-in-law. He does not like to give up any of his plants. If something breaks off he repots it again for himself. He loves his plants and does not want to part with anything even though I have shared a few with him before. But I guess it want hurt to ask all he can say is no LOL. I will check out ebay but I don't know about Dutch Auctions have not heard of it before.

Sami, hmmm, maybe you can offer to trade him something he likes for a branch (like pie?). Better yet, get your daughter to lop you off a branch! LOL!
A Dutch Auction is one auction where the seller has more than one available, and there can be multiple bidders without the price going up. For example, if a seller has 100 available and the starting price is $6.99, then 100 can be purchased by bidders for that starting price. Bidders can buy as many as they want up to the available quantity.
Here is a Dutch Auction where 100 plumerias are available for $2.50 each: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=25463&item=4372490505&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW If you look at the bidder's list, you can see that 22 have been bid upon so there are 78 left at the price of $2.50. I do not know this seller, but it is a nursery with an excellent feedback score, and $2.50 is an outstanding price for a cutting.
Clare_Ca thanks I will jump on the band wagon. I might even get a few extra and give to him LOL.

Sami, you might remind your daughter that Mother's Day is right around the corner. What a lovely gift to have something that grows more lovely each year. *smile*
Pati
Great idea, Sami! Offer him a trade he can't refuse! Pati has the right idea. How could he say "no" to you on Mother's Day!
Your right Patti it will be mother's day soon. Also I have a birthday coming up next month too. When they ask my what I want I'll just say a cutting from your Plumeria. That should work.
