Plumie Pictures of Mine

It has been a while since I posted pictures so I thought I would post a few today since I have some time. The other thread is probably getting too long for those on dial up. Here are some that are blooming in my garden.

Here is 'Henry Apples Dupree':

'Sirimongkol Yellow':

'Tahitian Sunset':

'Dwarf Singapore Pink' blooming on last year's inflo:

Hi Clare,

There are so beautiful. My personal fav is Henry Apples Dupree.

How can I get seeds for this one :)

'Kimo':

'Sariah's Curly Pink':

'Ruby Star':

'Wave Rage':

'Charlotte Ebert':

'Hurricane':

'Lemon Yellow':

'Siam Lavender':

I call this unnamed one my "Honey White" because the fragrance smells like honey to me.

This is sold by Barry in Singapore as "Orange Pink," but it is really an orange red and is one of my favorites.

This is an unnamed rainbow sold by Evenlyn on Ebay:

P. bahamiensis -- from the bahamas. It is a sweet fragrance like 'Singapore':

clare - your pics are so beautiful. thanks so much for taking care of all of my plumies. will be by next weekend to pick them up when i am in socal;~)

'Typhoon' from my dear friend Kukiat in Thailand with fantastic colors showing:

'Mexican Gold':

Here is a yellow that is hard to photograph because of the glare off of the flowers, and this is on an overcast morning:

This is another unnamed one of Evelyn's:

This is 'Spidery Yellow' from Singapore -- a great bloomer with absolutely no fragrance.

'Duke' blooming on last year's inflo:

'Cyndi Moragne':

An unnamed yellow from Hawaii:

'Negril':

'Nebel's Rainbow':

'Pacific Pearl':

'Cancun Pink' in an evening light:

'Nassau':

This is so pretty that I had to throw it in, and it is related to plumerias: Adenium 'Noble Concubine':

'Kauka Wilder':

'Cancun Dreams':

This is 'Cancun Dreams' and 'Cancun Pink' side by side; both are big flowers:

Another 'Kimo':

Another 'Tahitian Sunset':

I'm sure there are ones that I forgot to post, but I'll post more later. Lastly, here is a plumie ring that I made, which show the identification of the flowers.

Flower MTL, thanks! Plumerias seeds do not come true to the parent, but if you sow seeds of a yellow-white, you will most likely get another yellow-white, and you will have to wait years and years for it to flower from seed. There are so many yellow-whites in circulation that you are better off getting a cutting of one that has proven itself to be appealing. I do not find the traits of 'Henry Apples Dupree' to be very appealing compared to others out there. If you really want to sow seeds and have the time and patience to wait for your seedling to flower, then I would start with the seeds of a known cultivar that has the traits that you like -- i.e., big flower, good fragrance, bright colors, but even then, you could still get a yellow-white. Due to the number of genes, you could get anything, and you will wait years and years for your first flower. Seedlings take a lot of time and patience!

Thanks, Dete! You are so funny!

Years! Yikes! I want flowers now :). Seriously, my babies are two years old. How much longer before I see some flowers?

Thanks Clare!
