Gorgeous!! Makes me kinda wish I had more room for Plumerias, but for now the brugs have "senority."
Plumie Pictures of Mine
Flower_Mtl, when you say your "babies," are you referred to seedlings? Seedlings take 3-5 years to flower on average in ideal conditions. You may get lucky and get an inflo at Year 2 or even sooner, but that is not the norm. I know someone that waited 22 years for a seedling to bloom if you can believe that! If you want flowers now, I would recommend contacting Florida Colors Nursery by phone and have them send you a grafted plant with an inflo. I believe that they ship worldwide.
Thanks, Felicia. I am slowing getting rid of most of my brugs as they grow so fast, take up so much room, and are high maintenance! LOL! I'll probably keep a couple though because I do love them too.
Thanks Clare! Awesome Pictures!
Thanks, Davie! I enjoyed your pics too!
Thanks for keeping use inspired, Clare. So lovely. If I have success with my first ones I may want to try multi colored ones like Hurricane or Tahitian sunset. They are gorgeous!
All the best!
Ahhhhh, Clare...someday...(dreaming with a bubble above my head with pictures of plumie blooms all alglow!)
Love those photos...can just imagine the scent that permeates from those beauties.
Thanks Betty and Louise! Someday soon, you'll both have many blooms!
Give me time Clare, remember, I'm up to 37, gaining on you fast.
I have an orange one getting ready to open, I've never seen an orange plumie. I'm excited.
The orange one I was talking about is Paul Weissech...I looked at Clare's picture of it and it does have orange but it's more yellow...still never seen one this color. Will post here when it completely opens.
That's a nice one, Louise! Can't wait to see it! Congratulations! You'll have to get a 'Kimo' too. That is an awesome orangey one with a great fragrance.
It's taking its sweet time opening up for me...the suspense is about to get me! It sure does have a wonderful fragrance. Maybe tomorrow I'll be able to get it open.
'Salmon Pink' from Thailand opened today:
Here's my Paul Weissech that I've been waiting for 5 days now to open entirely but it still hasn't as of today. I guess a watched plumie never blooms!?!!??
It's beautiful, Louise! Congrats!
:-) I'll post it when it's fully opened. Thanks my friend.
Thanks Clare for your fantastic eye-candy!
What an incredible assortment you have! The Adenium is absolutely gorgeous! I've never seen anything like it! It's stunning.
It's funny because I've bought from Barry in Singapore and from Evelyn as well. Unfortunately, Evelyn doesn't ship to Canada anymore. I'm lucky that I got an old growth Hawaiian cutting from her, when I did. :-)
Keep posting those fabulous pictures. Even though my keyboard is covered in drool, I can just hose it down! ;-)
LOL, thanks, Teresa! How is it going with Florida Colors? Did you call them and reach them about your order? Barry has some nice ones, and Evelyn does too so I'm glad that you were able to receive shipments from them.
Clare, I've tried to phone, fax and call Florida Colors without any luck. It's odd that they emailed a confirmation of both my orders, yet nothing happened.
Must be a Canada thingie!?!
Teresa, they are just two people running a huge business so keep trying and don't give up. I promise you that it will be worth the wait when your order arrives.
Just got back from being out of town on vacation....
Beauties, as always Clare! Always love to look at your photos!
Karen
Gorgeous.... what a wonderful collection... you take beautiful pictures as well...
Brittany
Thanks, Karen and Brittany! Here is a new one: Bali Whirl. It smells wonderful. The flowers can be unpredictable on this one, but they always smell great.
Here is 'Salmon Pink' again from my friend Kukiat in Thailand. It has a very nice fragrance:
This is an unnamed rainbow from Evelyn:
This is 'Lady Red':
This is 'Strawberry Loops':
This is 'Siam Lavender' from my friend Kukiat. I put a yellow/white flower in the background for color reference.
This is 'Lemon Yellow':
This is 'Pinwheel Rainbow.' More later!
Those are beautiful, Clare. Thank you for sharing!
I know others prefer the more colorful ones, but I really like the yellow and white - they are my favorites. I currently only have one of any decent size that Dutchlady was so kind to give me. I purchased a red stick from e-bay that I am patiently waiting to root (found out that red is the hardest to root, not to my surprise as I always do things the hard way. ha ha)
You have a beautiful collection.
Wave Rage is awesome. Seems to have gigantic flowers. I'm so glad a have a dwarf Singapore pink, even if I won't see any bloom action for another year. Cutting is growing well. Salmon Pink is quite unique too.
That pinwheel is fabulous!
Thanks so much Floridabunny, Nery, and Teresa!
Floridabunny, I really like the white/yellows too. I have a bunch of different whites and yellows, and I love them equally as much if not more than my others. The yellow/whites tend to have the best fragrances.
Nery, that picture of 'Wave Rage' may be making the blooms look bigger than they are. I don't think they are bigger than 3 inches across. It is known for its wavy petals. Here is my Dwarf Singapore Pink for you.
Teresa, 'Pinwheel Rainbow' is definitely an eye catcher with its bright pink color.
Here is another yellow/white that I love. It is a great bloomer and blooms every year reliably.
Here is 'Tahitian Sunset,' another reliable bloomer.
This last one for the night is 'Strawberry Loops.'
Nice collection! Where did you get the Tahitian Sunset?
Thanks, Davie. Florida Colors Nursery: http://www.floridacolors.com/
More yummy photos Clare!
Mine finally bloomed! The camera batteries died last night before I could upload the photos! 8-( I will post them this evening in a new thread!
Karen
Can't wait to see them, Karen! Thanks!
