Hmmm I'm 2 to 3 weeks away from my first bloom. The following have buds J23, Giant Aussie Orange, Hausten white, Confetti, Divine and Dwarf Pink Singapore.

I guess that is the zone difference for you. I probably have 40-50 plants/trees in bloom.

The 'Kathryn's Fuchsia Fantasy' really loaded up while I was in Asheville. Two branches are in bloom and the Celadine (v. Ramsey) is well on her way to blooming also. You can see that Celadine stalk in one of the pictures.

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.

The photo was taken near noon and in full sun (at least the sunlight in the solarium). I need to fertilize all my plumeria now that they are starting to leaf-out.

Just received outstanding plumeria cuttings from tropicalplantsandmore.com. Cuttings were three times bigger than those I bought at Philadelphia Flower Show. I've potted them up and am excited to watch them grow.

That is a pretty standard size (16-18 inches) - I hate to ask how small the ones were that you bought before...

No watering while they root, by the way!

I love taking pictures in the early morning. You can catch the first sun on the blooms, and also have some nice remaining dew to highlight the petals.
Here are some of my plumeria blooming today:

I'm with you. Early AM is the best time to photograph. Those are all beautiful flowers.
