Paula, thank you so much for those illustrating pictures. I will put your names on those pictures so you will get credit for them. Plumeria 101 should ask your permission to use them for their "Winter Storage" section which is not completed and has not been updated in years. It is very helpful to see first hand the process as it should occur. I would be very hesitant to do that to my trees without first knowing and seeing that it is the right thing to do. There aren't many other trees that would survive this treatment. I think even brugmansias, when they are brought inside to go dormant for the winter in colder regions, need to sit in moist soil or buckets of water. I don't think brugmansias will survive bareroot for the winter like plumerias will. This also gives a lot of people hope that they can indeed grow plumerias in their zones by doing this in the winter.
Betty, great picture! That is interesting that there wasn't much difference between your three plumerias other than the greenhouse one flowering first.
