All of your flowers are just so beautiful and you are so lucky to live in an area that is sub-tropical. My newly potted plumeria plants are showing signs of coming out of dormancy, with swelling stems and newly formed leaves. They are all in my small "over-flow" greenhouse. I leave the zippered "door" open during the day but close it up at night. We had 40 F this morning and are supposed to get down to 37 tomorrow morning. Then we are supposed to stay between the mid-40's and 60 F for lows the following ten days. I think I will go ahead and prepare my cuttings so that I can begin rooting them this week.

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.

I love them all, Hetty. We here in NE Mississippi are still waiting for night temperatures to be 50 F and above. The next three mornings we will be around 40 F. I have all my plumeria potted but they are temporarily residing in a small GH, one that I can close up each evening. They are all plumping up and have terminal leaf formation, so I want/need to get them outside soon.

Back into the 30's for us Wednesday and Thursday mornings. I have to bring all my plumeria in, hopefully for the last time.
