GigiPlumeria said:I found a discussion at Dave's garden about Kapalua of Exotic plumeria being the most expensive cutting. Then, I found another one that is the most expensive so far $1,300...not a typo. A cutting worth this much?
Update: the $1300 per cutting was removed.
Also in my opinion, the most beautiful plumeria flower is the Tropical Aurora of Dr. Kukiat Tanteeratarm, PHD horticulturist Thailand. This has not been released yet but I was able to buy seeds from BBB. I have 4 seedlings growing, very slow growers but look healthy. He gave me a permission to post an article of his virtual garden in our flickr group:

Pharaoh4 said:I remember seeing that $1300 "purple" plumeria The video referring to it made about zero sense. Apparently, it was bought as "Pop's Red" cutting and when it flowered looking different, it was assumed that somehow it crossed with his "Pink Twirl" giving him the first and only purple plumeria No mention of a seedpod or seedling.
