Hetty -- how big are your trees ? You have so many varieties -- you must have acres to grow them all.
I have three in very large pots (no blooms yet) and two fairly big trees out front. Only one is blooming (not profusely yet either). My big disappointment is that I discovered rust already on the pudicas. I have been snipping those leaves off and disposing of them. I have never seen rust on them before - on the plumerias I have, of course. And, yes, some of the leaves on the big tree already have some rust and I've taken those off, where I can reach them. Every year I am careful to pick up all the dropped leaves but the rust always returns -- except two years ago I didn't see it at all !

Tarev, a few of mine are still asleep too. Some are cuttings that are almost 2 years old, I'm going to feed them a lot this year because I want them to bloom.

My collections are mostly pink, white, reddish/orangey and whitish/yellow. I could never guess which one will bloom first or not every plummie will rebloom every year. My Puu Kahea did not bloom for me last year but the cuttings from Feb are now growing nicely and might bloom in 3 weeks or so.

All of my plumeria are covered in blooms, I have 4 large trees in huge pots on the roof. They are all NOID's but the scent and the colors are great. I particularly like this one because the scent has hints of cinnamon in it.

Jonna - that is the one we here in the US call 'Guadelupe Fernandez'. It came from your area so we're sure it's the same one. It is one of my favorites, I should add.

That's right Hetty, you ID'd it for me before I just forgot. *Blush* The blooms are really large and splashy but it is the smell that is spectacular. I can smell that sweet cinnamony smell in my bedroom as soon as I get upstairs. It is hanging over the pond on the roof and every morning I pull dropped blooms out of the water. I kind of like it, it is like they are in a bowl of water so they stay fresh and they float on the pond. It's a nice effect.

Jonna I will never get tired looking at your Guadalupe bloom. That tree may be huge now. I remembered when you repotted them.

I actually have 2 Guadalupes, one is quite tall and it is harder to get pics of the blooms. The other one has branches that were warped and droopy so it dips down low over the pond. I have them in these huge wash tub type containers, my guess is without the pot they are 6'+ tall and the pot adds another 3'. I can easily walk under the ones that are straight. The other 2 that I have is one of the white and yellow ones, some relative of Singapore as it doesn't lose its leaves and is naturalized all over down here, and a fairly clear pink. I don't really have room for any more huge pots in that area so I try not to look too hard at new colors I see around. I noticed the other day when I came home that you can see the plummies on my roof from the street and that the blooms had fallen on the sidewalk below. It was a nice look.

My plumeria plants are short now. I had to cut them all down but they are coming back and the cuttings are now blooming like mini trees.

Beautiful blooms Hetty. Lovey dubby The plastic pink is Charlotte Ebert (not sure if my spelling is correct).

Ech one of my 3 mini tree cuttings of the Hausten White has one inflo in full bloom. What I love about this is the size of the bloom 4+ and the size of the boquet.

The white color is so refreshing to my eyes.

@GigiPlumeria - Plastic Pink is aka Royal Hawaiian. Charlotte Ebert is a much bigger, different bloom. Here is a picture of Charlotte Ebert.
