Hi everyone!
I just wanted to remind those of you in the Houston area about the PSA sale. Some of the finest and unusual plumerias will be offered for sale. Doors open at 9:30, so be there early for the best selection. Go to the PSA site and click on the PSA sale button to see the list of available cultivars. http://www.theplumeriasociety.org/dyncat.cfm?catid=1998

The bi-anual Plumeria Society of America is having their Show and Sale for Plumeria (frangipani) cuttings, plants, books and seeds. Registered and Non-Registered Plants are provided by PSA members.

The show is held at the Fort Bend County Fairgrounds located in Rosenberg Tx. from 9:30 am till 3:00 pm.

A huge bloom display will show the large variety of available cultivars. Ask the Expert Table will provide answers for new and experienced plumeria growers. Checks or cash only.

Our other sale is July 8th at Clear Lake Community Center in Clear Lake TX.

I am GREEN WITH ENVY!!

Wow what an event!!

Darn can't make this weekend but I keep my fingers crossed for the one in July!!!

Mercy...why don't I ever hear of anything out mid-Atlantic way?

Well come on down! We have several out of towners who travel from across the country to come to the PSA sales. If you can't come, visit the psa site for photos of the big event...

Also consider coming to the International Plumeria Conference, which is July 8-12. We have people from Italy, Brazil and Australia coming! Now that's a field trip...LOL

I wish I lived closer, Paula! I would love to go! Maybe next time...

I've got some pics from the sale yesterday. The county fairgrounds where this sale was held is about 15 min. from my house. As you can guess, in order to get the "hot" items you need to be there 1st thing in the morning. I got there late, knowing I wasn't going to buy anything. I am saving my pennies for the sale at the Intl. Convention in Galveston in July.

I did some visiting with a couple of folks, including our own Plumerialady (Paula). I would have bought a cutting of her Paula's Pink but she was out. I think she plans to bring some to the convention sale. I have a pic of Paula and I, but even photoshopping couldn't hide my "chubbyness". Ain't no way nobody is seeing that one! (crying and laughing)

here are some others that caught my fancy

and another

another two

Here is a pic of Emerson Willis' neck (http://www.emersonsplumerias.com), displaying a plumeria necklace. I thought it was way cool. Started thinking, what if I bought jewelry for all my "faves". I'd have a permanent neck ache, as it would have to have a rose pendant, tropicals, plumies, daff, daylilies, AVs, amaryllis, ornamental grasses, and on and on....

finally, souvenirs celebrating the upcoming convention. Hopefully Paula will post here whether they are available to folks other than convention atendees.

I almost forgot this pic. This was displayed at Emerson's table. There may be bigger plumies out there, but this is the biggest flower I have seen so far:

edited to add name: California (Bud) Sally

Nery, you are as cute as pie and shouldn't worry about your love handles as we all have them. Thanks for sharing these pics. They are great! Love the plumie necklace that Emerson is wearing. Love that California Sally too! That Thornton's Lemon Drop is a favorite of a lot of people as well for its low branching growth habit and for its prolific blooms.

you know I think somebody gave me that last year and you helped me identify. I don't have any inflos on it yet, but if that is what I have, well, YIPEEE!!!!!!!

Hi Nery!
It was so good to meet you yesterday! Thanks for posting all the photos! We had a great sale despite all the rain. I got your registration for the conference...can't wait!!

Love the colors on the one to the left of Paula's pink
