Samoan Fluff seedling aboput to open...
Pictures from this year
Thanks Clare...but I did find a few that were starting inflos...
Maung Jack...a customers plant finally flowered. It really is a nice purple color. Not much scent so far.
Maung Jack again. Thanks Hetty.
Wow a purple! Another one I just can't live without!
Oh, that's pretty, Davie. Very different color.
It looks like your Samoan Fluff seedling will be white. Bummer but not surprising! My 'Muang Jack' ('Jack's Purple) flowered last winter. I can't remember the fragrance now, but it was indeed a nice color.
If that is a first flowering of that Samoan Fluff seedling, it can still change dramatically over the next two bloom cycles. Don't give up on it being something other than white in the end. After all, do we know who the daddy is?
Let's not forget the mother of the Moragne varieties was Daisy Wilcox....
No we don't know who the father is, it's a bastard child...LOL Thanks for the encouragement Hetty...I will keep an eye on it.
Davie
wow, davie! that once looked like it was a glorious tree. too bad they let it die. :-(
guillot sunset is definitely worth the wait. i have two. not by choice though. LOL

LOL, notice I edited my post!!?!?!!?
Ya Dete the Guillots Sunset is awesome, I have a few myself...need to thin out the herd. The plumeria was the only thing alive...the rest of the landscaping was toast....a complete loss.
What I believe to be Hurricane...sent a cutting to Hetty in a trade...did yours bloom yet Hetty?

wow! that sure is a nice one. i imagine a strong red heart candy fragrance. LOL
will probably be heading down to Hermosillo next month to document some of the plants there. they have some large plumeria!
Hermisillo...be careful Dete, and enjoy your trip...and take lots of pictures.
Great Hetty, was hoping that would be the case.
Davie
thanks davie. will do.
I wanted to add the Flames of the Sun to my have list but it's not out there (with photos). Can you please add to plant file?
I don't know how...and I do not think it is registered by the PSA. Clare can you help? Please?
Fruit salad is very pretty too. What does it smells like?
Sure. I'll go do it now, but the admin might have a hard time verifying it if they can't locate another source of it. Where did you get it, Davie?
Here's the link, Davie, if you want to upload pics: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/175656/
Thanks! I added it to my 'want' list.
Lili Fruit Salad had a Sweet Plumeria Scent to it. It has large inflos with huge sets. The inflos last for months. I was lucky and had all three tips bloom for my at once this spring...it was beautiful.
Thanks for the help Clare...I do not know of anyone else that has this cultivar...it was a limited release from Thailand. I have been trying to get another one without any luck...unavailable.
Davie
So I'm out of luck unless you are 'selling' later. :)
It's extraordinarily beautiful, Davie! Hang on to that one!
Clare it gets special attention...it is my favorite...which means I wil probably kill it. LOL
LOL, Davie! You had better send me a cutting of it so that, if you kill it, I'll have it to give back to you! Seriously, I might have to find something to trade you for that one.
Your on the list...it is too small to cut up now...next season.
note to self...dbrooks said 'next season'. Very dangerous to post such thing with all these plumie addicts. :)
Note to self...get chains and locks for Flames of the Sun.
yeah, davie you have to watch out for some of these addicts...
LOL!
I just got a bigger dog, with bigger teeth!
bigger teeth will not matter if it escorts you around the premises like the other dog did. nothing like having man's best friend as your tour guide through the plumeria grove. haha!
Dete I asked you to keep that fact on the down low. LOL
