CLOSED
My Teresa Wilder finally delivered me a full pod. And I have hundreds of "Brad's White."
For Teresa Wilder -- see: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/101488/
For Brad's White -- they are the most prolific. You'll see many posts here.
Both are pictured above in thread Welcome 2009
I'll never plant them.
If someone (young) will volunteer to receive them -- use them -- and make them available (for postage) to DGers who might want them -- I'll send him/her the whole lot.
I specified "young" because the blossoms will be a couple of years away.
Send me a d-mail if you are interested.

I have seeds
Seeds are a bit problematic - a lot of people will start them, but the bottom line is you will likely not see blooms until you have a good sized tree, and how many people have the space (or the dedication) to devote to a number of large seedlings, only a few of which will be worth keeping. It's a quandary.
You are very good to make the offer, though, Brad! But I thought I would warn the overexcited newbies LOL.
Pictured is a bloom of a Kauka Wilder seedling for which I had high hopes. Unless you have the space... this is not a keeper..... nothing remarkable about it.
Thanks, Dutchlady, for keeping me honest.
I said "young" because of the time it takes.
Someone to watch over me.
: )
Just out of curiosity.
Do any of our DGers actually sell plumeria seeds -- and not just give them away?
Just wondering.
(=^-^=)
Generally when you have nice varieties it is perfectly normal to expect people to pay for them. Just - not a lot....
My DH sold the Florida Colors selection of seeds last year here on The Marketplace under 'FCN Seeds'.
FCN said they don't have that many this year, so I don't think it will be continued.
Oh.
They didn't have this disclaimer on them, did they?

Happy gardening -- and -- be well

dutchlady, for some reason my Kauka Wilder rotted over the winter. I've never had this happened to me before. I think all my plumeria that I bought from this same seller rotted this winter. They were all sprouting and healthy over the summer. What did I do wrong? Not giving it enough water?
yes, they were all in the garage and I did give them water in November and December. My other plumerias are fine, just the ones I bought from this seller. I wouldn't even think anything of it because they all had wonderful leaves during the summer. I'm just so sad that they are dead. I don't think I'm going to replace them...
