Multi-graft starting to bloom

Clare your seedlings are beautiful!

Thank you, Davie^_^

Here is another picture of my multi-grafted tree in bloom. The tag said 'Pinwheel Rainbow' on one of the grafts, but I think I messed up because this looks like 'Kauka Wilder' to me. In any case, I love it. It is Pacific Pearl, Kauka Wilder, Samoan Fluff, and Marion B. all on the same tree.

Here is 'Grove Farm' today too.

This one is 'Nassau,' another great-smelling one.

'Penang Peach' has started to bloom and is a lovely orange.

'Ruby Gold,' an Oz import.

'Spidery Yellow'

This one is a four and a half year old seedling, blooming for the second time:

'Kyle's Pink' looking awesome.

And a new favorite emerges. Sorry for the slightly out of focus picture. This is Kaleinani. It has a very nice fragrance similar to Vera Cruz Lutica, which I love.

Speaking of Vera Cruz Lutica...

Beautiful, Clare. Love that 'Kyle's Pink'!

Last but not least Siam Ruby. More later!

Thanks, Kathleen. Me too!

Ooops...they just keep coming! LOL

that is simply TOO cool!

LOL, that's all for now, Kathleen, but new ones are opening up all the time so I'll post more later. Soon to come: Salmon Brown, Chocko Delight, Chompoo Paan, Aussie Pink, Vera Cruz Rose, Barry's True Orange, Barry's Orange Pink, Hawaiian Spider Lily and more! Here is Walt's White.

I think so too, Nery! It's a great space saver!

groan...you're killin' me!

Yes Clare, you're killing us! I bet your garden smells incredible at night. Can you show us a picture of what your garden look like??? ... so we can all dream about your plumerias! :)

LOL, guys. Thanks for the compliments. Believe it or not, I have a very few flowers for this time of year. Flowers usually start opening in April here, and many of them waited until July to bloom. I am still waiting on a large amount of inflo's that have not even flowered yet. It is a strange year. The inflo's are progressing very slowly.

Lili, I'll take a picture of my yard soon, but I'll have to wait until I have some inflo's open because there are too many flowerless trees. I'm also in the process of reducing my collection so many of the ones that are blooming are going away as soon as they get sold. "Sniff, sniff" I hate to see some go, but I just don't have the room for all of them when they keep growing at the rate that they're going!

same here, inflos but no flowers

This was my attempt at a panoramic picture last year on July 13. It looks nothing like this now, and the trees are so much larger! Most of them are at the top of the six-foot wall or taller.

Your four and a half year old seedling really has the bronze color on the leaves very nice that yellow is a knock out. The pink in the last picture really looks like pretty big flowers! Ruby gold awesome never have seen anything like it. I knew the good pictures were coming lol Great pictures Clare thats for sharing

Yes, Clare, thank you for sharing. Wow! Look at all your plumerias. I am trying to refrain from planting any more tropicals as I will have to haul them in the winter time. I have limited space in my garage. My DH already think I'm crazy.

Dana, you have a very good eye. You are so right. The leaves of my seedling are very dark -- darker than most of my other plumerias. The fragrance is strong too. I really like that one, and I really like the yellow 'Vera Cruz Lutica' very much too. That's a keeper. 'Ruby Gold' is beautiful, but I sold her:-( Another grower came and got her yesterday. I didn't even save a cutting for myself. The flowers were on the small side, and the fragrance wasn't that great so it didn't get to stay! I have such a small space to grow things that tough choices have to be made. Thanks for the compliment:-) More pictures coming up next!

Thanks, Lili! I hear you. My DH thinks I'm neurotic also!

Here's a few more today. Here's one last look at Ruby Gold.

Here's another 'Ruby Gold':

Here's the seedling with the dark leaves again:

'Siam Ruby' is a beautiful red from Thailand.

Another gorgeous one from Thailand: 'Typhoon'

This is another four-and-a-half year old seedling. The flowers are on the small side, but it's nice.

Walt's White from my neighbor Walt:

'Brad's White' from our favorite flyboy in Florida:

'Spidery Yellow' still showing off:

'Kyle's Pink' is outblooming everything!

I think this one is 'Lemon Chiffon.' It smells so good!

And you can't go wrong with a classic like 'Celadine':

'Grove Farm' is amazing.

'Pacific Pearl' is a keeper too for it's fragrance, reliability of blooming, and graceful flowers.

Here's a close-up of 'Kyle's Pink':
