Would like to see the AZ grown Plumerias. Interested in seeing how everyones' Plumerias have done over the summer, especially with the late heat we had. Mine have finally started flowering again. Here are a few pictures to start things off.
This is a plant I gave my friend, it is in full sun all day. Blooming hard now that the weather has cooled a little.

Close up of the flowers. Very large red that fades to pink.
Ruffles, hit a little by the heat but starting to really throw out the blooms.
Ruffles closeup. Great looking, but does not give off a strong smell.
Ruffles super close up. Flowers really holding well now that its in the low 90's.
The Mary Helen Egenberger did not like the heat at all, but if you look closely you can see an inflo starting to emerge.
Puu Kahea, gets the most sun out of the three, and doing the best. Hasn't bloomed this year.
Line of buried pots, doing very well. You can see my where my dog likes to dig and sleep.
Unknown pink in the line of buried pots, first flower.
Few in pots on my patio. Get sun until noon.
Close up of white flowers, on the plant on the left, in previous picture.
Same flowers as above, but now that the temps have dropped it has a pink stripe down the petals. It originally only had this marking down the underside.
More loving it on the patio. These get sun off and on all day.
Black Vein from Evelyn. Flower from one of the pots above, just starting to flower again.
Another unknown red from Evelyn. Also one of the plants pictures above on the patio. Smaller flower, but I like the way the petals overlap and open fully.
Unknown rainbow, just starting to flower again. Stopped when it got above 110. Also on my patio.
Candy Strip and Pinwheel Rainbow, loving the heat, get sun all afternoon.
Bali Whirl, took a long time for it to get established but doing well now.
I dont have any plumerias, but yours are beautiful. Thanks for the photos

My shade structure. These are doing very well.
Thanks for looking Debbie. Plumerias are great, beautiful flowers, tropical look, and easy to care for.
These cuttings are over a year old. The plants in the foreground get no shade at all.
My seedlings. These are also over a year old, they love the heat. The plants in the foreground also get sun all day, yet they do not have hardly any damage when compared to the cuttings.
Anyone spot the oddball? There are a few of the reddish leafed plants in my seedlings. I do not know what the parents are.

Closeup of reddish leafed plant from above picture.
Another red leaf seedling. This is from a different source, but the parents are still unknown.
Great looking plumies davie..
Nice setup you have there..
That red leaf plumie could be anything..
I am pretty sure it is not a hilo beauty or scott pratt..
Thanks for sharing..
Awesome pics, Davie. Thanks for sharing them!
I really like the seedlings with the dark red leaves. I have a few of them too. I've been told that the very green ones will probably have white flowers whereas the ones with brownish, purplish, reddish, darker leaves will probably have red, pink, or rainbow flowers.
Thanks Clare. I really like the red foliage too. I hope the few that I have, keep the red colored leaves as they mature.
This one and a few others I have just won't stop branching. They are going to be like shrubs.

Closeup of previous plant.
Cally Sally/Belle Vista, first flower to open on this cutting. Its a little deformed, but has nice coloring.
Some more flowers. Very nice yellow with orange/red throat and pink margins.
Very large white, but only puts out a few flowers at a time. I tried fertilizing it, but got the same results.
Another yellow with red/orange throat.
Virus plant, flowers don't hold very long and are small. Not sure if it is from the virus or just poor holding ability.
Another virus infected plant. Some of these are just so beautiful.
Another infected plant.
Unknown pink from Evelyn.
Same red as above (9-25-07 red I gave my friend), two days later. This thing is in full Yuma, AZ sun and just busting out blooms!
