Beautiful plumeria blooms....am super busy these days and have totally neglected my garden. Thank goodness plumerias thrive even on neglect. Here are my spring blooms and there are more buds starting to form.

Hausten white: (too tall for me to take close up photos)



Unknown plumeria 4 blooming tips: (possibly this is Kimo plumeria)

I would not think that is Kimo but it's lovely, as is Hausten White!

Thanks Hetty... The blooms are lovely and big. Summer time the color is as intense as Kimo.

First time I have several blooms on Hausten White, I am hoping that this year I can make a lei for a friend.

I quickly checked my garden, looks like I will have blooms soon on my Trimark, Barbados Showgirl/Confetti, and Aussie Pink.

More of the same, my unknown plumeria I nicknamed "peachy pink" except some droplets:

That's a beauty Gigi.

Here's my native white, it blooms sporadically all year and keeps some leaves but in the spring it really goes crazy.

Nice!

Some blooms I picked today. You can tell I like the orange ones.

It's just not fair that you have flowers and I have not a single one.

Just starting to see blooms here. So exciting this time of year. Looking forward to seeing all your blooms.

Toba's Fire and Aztec Gold? Great pics, please add to the database!

Beautiful ! I love white blooming plumerias. It is a must have for me...because white signifies pure beauty to me,.

I saw these beautiful blooms in flicker posted by Stuart. Love the colors.

I am so jealous of all these beauties. There are so many colors wow.

I have to keep mine in pots as this winter we got down to 23 degrees. What would be a good mixture to them potted in? I have them all in quart pots and have read to put them in 3 gallon but am afraid they will rot if not the right soil. Thanks for any help you can give.

@ilovejesus99: I use the regular miracle grow potting soil (not the moisture control) and mix it with 2/3 perlite. This mix works for me but all my plumerias are in area where they get a lot of full sun around this time of year through fall. Plus I only water my established plumerias as needed.

Most of Stuart's pictures are mine, @Gigiplumeria

Miracle grow here is 80% bark mulch or atleast it was all year last year. Would that work? I have a huge bag of perlite.

@Dutchlady1 oh I did not know that. I thought @RobertB and Stuart posts the same photos. They are beautiful!

@ilovejesus99!I think that would work. Just observe and make sure the water will drain easily because if it retains water, it will cause the plumeria to rot.

You have a gorgeous collection! I wish I have more space on my tiny yard. hubby already put a stop on my obsession. He thinks I have more than what I can take care of

Mystery solved on my unknown plumeria (see below):

My long awaited Barbados Showgirl/Confetti (2 tip purchased from BBB with tag still intact) bloomed. One bloom fell (when hubby was transferring the pot from the back to the front garden)...and here is what the remaining bloom looks like.




To my surprise when I compared the blooms of my Barbados Showgirl/Confetti (left bloom) with the unknown plumeria (right bloom) purchased as 1 tip rooted plant at HD 3 years ago, they look exactly the same , the same scent and the same size:
