Thank you Hetty for adding the photo of Gloria Los Angeles! Such a gorgeous bloom!

I'm patiently waiting for mine to bloom. This is a late year for my plumeria but very promising inflos are starting to come out. Here's my Puu Kahea, unfortunately the weeds are also starting to come out *Blush* :

Thanks for the encouragement Hetty! I protected these inflos from the cold snaps since late December, looks like my hardwork will soon payoff. It sure seems like forever since the first time saw these inflos. Whistling
