Is it a good plant to have?
Thanks
Where is buy Maya plumeria from?
I love my Maya, it has yet to flower for me, but I love it nonetheless. There is also a Maya II which has Pink flowers instead of the white that the Maya has.

Maya II pictured
I have a couple of these i think what they are, are grafted seedlings. They are not old enough yet to flower
Danasplants, You are correct mine are grafted to seedling root stock, and have not flowered yet. The reason I know the flower color is, the person I purchased them from has pictures of the mother plants flowering. Both the Maya and Maya II.
I also wonder if flowering has to do with the maturity of the plant from which the graft was taken or the maturity of the root stock it is grafted to? Anyone?

If it is grafted to a seedling root stock i'm thinking you have to wait. there are fertilizer you can get to speed up the process. The verigated plants are very slow growing some grow like crazy others very slow these are the slow ones the plant in the picture looks great! Mine is just getting leaves its bad about getting rust too. I live in florida rust capitol. I still have plants here with no leaves they have not woke up yet. It went to 28 here and held it for a while after Christmas i was out of state had some freeze damage. The ones with freeze damage have leaves go figure. If you check out Roberts stories here he can get seedlings to flower in a year with the right fertilizer you might have gotten the plant from him. They have some really nice verigated plants good size and healthy.
It is my understanding that...The root stalk is just that...root stalk, it is used for hard to root plants, plants with week root systems, or to clone plants rapidily. The flowering depends on the age of the scion. As long as the plant you took the cutting from is of age to bloom it should bloom. I recently had a Erma 5 from Thailand flower for me, it is grafted to seedling root stalk.
Sorry about the damage to your plants. Its funny how most of the damaged tips leaf first. I noticed that myself this year.
I will check out the thread you are talking about, I have never heard of anyone being able to force seedlings to flower in a year, that would be great.

I havent been able to find any vendors selling the Maya and Maya II in the us. Maya II sounds really nice with pink flowers.
Man1410, I believe Florida Colors sells Maya: http://www.floridacolors.com/Thai%20Cultivars.htm
Brad's Buds and Blooms also sells Maya: http://bradsbudsandblooms.com/product_info.php?cPath=31&products_id=221
