Hi,

Could you help me identify the plumeria I've been growing for the past 8-10 years? There's a little praying mantis saying Hi in one of the pictures. Smiling

I'm sorry, @ryannnn, but there several varieties that have a similar flower, and I'm only referring to named varieties. Because of there being 1000's of hybrids out there now, unless a flower or leaves are unique, there's just no way to make identification certain. Unfortunately, to complicate matters even more, plumeria flowers change season to season. Because you've had your tree for a decade, I will say that your tree might be Rose Red. If I were to label her, the label would be: "NOID, Similar to Rose Red".

Here's flowers of my Rose Red. The photos were taken over several years. Notice how the flowers differ in that last photo. Those flowers are all on the same plant but the flowers have differing ages, just opening to 3-4 days old flowers.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
