Lovey dubby wish I could go but can't. I will just wait for pictures of everyone's loots here.

Looks like there are not a lot of people posting photos yet. I only have 2 blooming for now. Hope more blooms will open soon.

No one has posted anything here lately, so this is just an update of my Divine and Aussie Pink blooms. I searched the database but I could not find an Aussie Pink. I thought I added this before but maybe not.

I find adding names in the database a little more than a hassle since I don't know the rules that well. So I stopped trying *Blush*

First bloom on the a 5-tips cutting from February pruning when the weather man said we were going to have a freeze. Out of 4 multi tip cuttings only one planted cutting has no inflo.

Nice, Gigi. I've got nothing but a few leaves. At least those that were potted and dormant for almost five months are plumping up. That's always a good sign.

Holy cow, Hetty, that is some array of flowers there. Your yard must smell wonderful. Hurray!

My Madame Gallibert is beginning to show signs of leaf growth and plump-up. I think she is a three-tip plant now. I only have the one. Only my Scott Pratt has an inflorescence stem but is probably 2-4 weeks from actually blooming. That's it so far. I may have few flowers this year but for me, it is still awfully early. Those two seedlings started in Dec. 2013, continue to grow FAST and the tallest one is now approaching 5'! Yesterday I re-potted them both into 5 gal. pots (from 2 gal. ones). My seed pods still haven't "opened" and they are all housed in panty-hose.

Hetty, I would if my hubby will let me enjoy my hobby to the max. He keeps saying he is now drawing the line on how many I can hoard. He was happy and helpful that I gave away my 3 tip 18 inches tall with 2 inflos Starwhite plumeria to my co worker. It will have a god loving home so I don't mind at all.

Ken I am on the same boat wih you on the seedlings. I have 15 that are that taller than my mature plumerias and 50 + that are now 12 to 2 feet tall, planted from seeds from 6-2012 to 2-2013 with no inflos in sight. It would have been more but a few did not survive my neglect. I will try my best to take care of them a little bit better this year.
I'm very excited on a few multi tip red leaf ones but more so on one that has the blackish stem 3 tip, a seedling of Yugumbeh Spirit. I have not seen a blackish stem plumeria before.

Some are stunted in decorative pots they look like mini trees forming tiny caudex. They may never bloom.

Interesting, Gigi. I have never even heard of a black-stem plumeria, much less seen one. I so hoped I would actually see one or both of those 18 mo. old seedlings bloom this summer, but after seeing what you have, and the fact that they are much older than mine, I have had my hopes dashed. Crying Hetty warned me not to expect flowers this soon, and as usual, she is right. Thumbs up

Hey think of it this way, some people grow plants that will never bloom. So why not continue to nurture a plumeria that may or may never bloom Hilarious!
