How long before this bloom will open weeks?

Pensacola, FL(Zone 8b)

I recieved this cutting from dutchlady last fall and I planted in soil and did not water it until it started to leaf out. Well it grew since then and now it has the smallest cluster of flower buds staring to form and since I have never had a plumeria before and I want to know about how long before it does bloom?

Keep it warm!! It will probably be another 6-8 weeks, so you need to make sure it doesn't get too cold at night because then it would go dormant and the inflo might dry up.
It's looking really healthy, well done!

Horray I am so happy it is doing so well also I can not wait till it does bloom but oh well it is not that far away and it keeps me looking forward to something very beautiful. What does this one smell like if it has a fragrance if not that is ok but I do like things that put out a scent.............LOL

Yes, about a month. Last year, mine came up in October and got burnt one night due to cold weather. Never saw the blooms. :( No flower this year. I don't think it's been warm enough this summer.

being that you are in Pensacola, the chance of your weather getting too cold and ruining these blooms is minimal. You are no where near hitting the 40's at night yet. From the point where the little blooms first popped out of the top of the branch, you are looking at 1 month.
