Christmas is 16 days away. Oh and only 28 days left and then it's bye bye 2018.... I'm thinking 102 days left until the first day of spring. I'm ready to start planning what I would like to add to my collection. You may remember that I am in the process of rooting some cuttings for the first time. I am trying to patient and leave them alone. So in the meantime I wanted to find out what you may be looking to add to your collection this year?

I really think confetti is beautiful. If only I could find one reasonable price.

Found this one on BB&B
Might have to add this to have a purple in the collection.... Maybe for my anniversary

I really think this one is going to be added if it hangs around till June. Fingers crossed.

Bought a Tahitian Sunset rooted cutting that should be arriving today

Congrats on the new arrival. I had to pull up a pic to see. Sure looks lovely! Hope to see pics in the spring!!

For others I attached a pic below :P. I hope it doesn't take me 5 years to get a flower on this one!

Beautiful, Matt. Good luck with it!

@FortheloveofPlumies - The so-called Confetti is a registered variety known as Barbados Showgirl. The "Confetti" is ridiculously overpriced. Keep an eye out for Barbados Showgirl!

@molder - Tahitian Sunset is a beauty and a reliable bloomer for me. It's one of my tallest trees now after about 18 years.

Strawberry Waterfalls..... looks so interesting. Anyone have one of these??

That is a beauty! I am thinking of buying some seeds. I've never grown them from seed. Does anyone know how long it would take to bloom from seed?

From what I read on these boards average 3 years

Thanks, for that info. Adeniums bloom much faster, but I might give them a try anyway.

Cuttings are great for Plumerias.
Desert Roses should be from seed from what I understand for their caudex right?

That's true. Cuttings won't form the caudex.

Karen. I agree. About three years. I grew around 100 seeds three years ago and several bloomed this year.
