I've also got a new batch of blooms on my evergreen plumeria, the smell on this one is wonderful, lighter and with a bit of citrus.

The deciduous plumeria are starting to lose more leaves and the ones they keep are tinged with yellow. They will lose most of their leaves in the winter. It's one reason they aren't popular here in tourist areas like hotels because they don't look very good during high season.

That's the first plumeria I got, it's in a fiberglass pot and it has done most of its growing in that pot. I probably should look for a bigger pot for it, weight is of course a consideration since it's on the roof. The other 3 large plumeria up there are almost as big and in pots that are a little smaller. I have to water them almost every day in the winter/dry season and I try and remember to feed them every few months.

Nice bloom Jonna! My trees are inside now so look much worse with no leaves than your yellow leaves.
Hetty, keep them coming! You sure have lots of beauties Hurray!
With the winter no blooms coming, it's nice to see all of yours. My inflo is slowing growing so hope it will make it. It spend every warm day outside and comes in at dark. With "Sandy" now getting closer to the coast it looks like we will get winds and it will have to stay in. Grumbling

Gosh! The blooms look fake they are so vivid and the colors! I can see how one could get hooked on these! I absolutely love the orange ones.
If I grew these I may have to revamp my GH to make it warmer. We have awfully cold winters. Just Beautiful.
