Cyra - anything with three colors is generally considered a 'Rainbow' plumeria.

Fruit Salad is a term for many of the Plumeria varieties that come from Australia. While there are many different kinds of 'Fruit Salad' they are still pretty distinctive.

Thank you. There are so very many different types of plumeria blossom colors and markings, that I'm no longer sure I've a favorite!

Jonna do you see this?

I played with flowers today since I am doing a talk this week at the Botanical Garden where I work.

Metallica is quite a stunner

Yes, it certainly is....there is nothing "shy " about that color!!

Beautiful! Both the little lei and the Metallica blooms. I love the white plumeria blooms (what variety is this?). I always love white plumeria blooms; the white blooms always look so pure and so refreshing to me. They are beautiful on their own and mixed with other colors.

This particular white I used to call 'Gardenia Fragrant White' since the blooms are very fragrant and reminiscent of Gardenia. It has since been named for a French lady and it is now 'Madame Gallibert'

What a beautiful name!

Hetty, Yes, I see the Guadalupe Fernandez pic. It could well be the same that I have and that is so common here. The blooms start out darker and fade to the color in the pic with the yellow growing a little. Mine is covered in blooms now, I have some larger pots for some of my plumeria and just have to get some young backs over to haul them to the roof and help me move the plants.

This is a pink that I have in a very small pot. It's gangly, about 6' tall, and I think it will start to look a lot fuller and better once I get it in the bigger pot. I was worried that the lines on the bloom are a sign of virus, none of the plumeria around it show anything similar. What do you think Hetty? It's a solid pink throughout the bloom, up close there are slightly darker areas.

Not a virus for sure, Jonna, it is a pattern; virus is always irregular. This is a lovely bloom!

Oh good. It's hard for me to get a pic of it as the blooms are so high. I had to stand on a box to get that picture. It's a pretty one though.

Last year, I had blooms early spring, but this time all my plumerias are taking their sweet little time.



1 of 2 inflos on the same plant;


Divine 1 of the 3 inflos on the same plant, 12 tips

Finally, I got my first blooms. I was wrong about DSP, it hasn't opened yet. The first to bloom this year is my Hausten White, there's more bloom but this tree is 8 feet tall and I'm not liming the ladder.


Then my Divine Bloomed, this morning, it looked like this.



Then just now I went out to check and I was blown away by its petite (correction: 2 inches) gorgeous bloom and right now I counted 6 inflos on 12 tips and each inflo has 3 new branches... my divine is only a little over 2 feet tall. This is my new favorite!

You must have the magic touch! That Divine is divine!

Thanks Sandi! My first 4 inflos failed to bloom when we had the cold snap in March.... This is worth the wait!

the blooming frenzy continues in Southwest Florida

Here is Saigon Moon

Chocko Delight

and an unknown brought back from Kauai a few years ago.

Those are lovely too. I'm just getting leaves again! I think it will be a bit before I see flowers.
