By the way, I had one of my customers contact me today. He purchased a Scott Pratt cutting less than three weeks ago, and he says he is sure it has started rooting. Even though I brag on those initial, 25+ year old varieties rooting very well (and I truly believe it is because they come from those old "mother" plants), having a Scott Pratt root in less than three weeks is amazing to me. I have had some Celadine and Vera Cruz Rose do that, but never a Pratt.

I don't know about that. I have so few varieties and so few of even those, I will never be a "player" in the business. I just like to grow tropical plants. Sighing!

These pictures were taken at 6:00 AM. The first is Slaughter pink. There are two branches, each with 3-tips, off the main stem and both have inflorescences. The last one is Madame Gallibert. I expect her buds to begin opening today.

@dutchlady1, guess what this plumeria is. The leaves are humongous, 18+ inches long and 6+ inches wide. This plant has grown probably 2 feet since it was awoken back in April. I think this is the first time it has bloomed.

For many people in America, waiting to see their first plumeria bloom, no flower would be called a "regular white". Whistling
