My tree started opening in the last few days (sorry, I don't have a name). It smells delicious!

That is quite likely Aztec Gold, the most common Florida yellow which is a profuse bloomer and smells of peaches! Thumbs up

Put your nose to it, Patty. Hetty may have identified it for you. Hurray!

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.

Hmmmm...I've had it for many (20 or so) years, and neither myself nor anyone else has ever identified the fragrance as 'peaches'...I'll send another pic closer of just the blooms and we can see if that helps at all either way, Hetty.

This is an old one (same plant though)

May not be quite enough yellow to qualify as Aztec Gold; Let's have it as 'unknown (but lovely) yellow'. Picture of my Aztec Gold attached.

Dark red Plumeria are the hardest to photograph; I got close with this picture of 'Wildfire' - aka 'Scarlet Knight' which I took just before sunset tonight.

I got my cutting of DD's Delight today from @drdawg ! Hurray!

Thanks so much Ken for the beautiful cutting and allowing me to harass you for answers on multiple things! I love your Tropical Plants & More shop and greatly appreciate all of your help! So excited to add this new cutting to my collection! Quite large, wonderful condition. Now, to wait 45 days-ish for it to start rooting and go from there! Beyond excited to see its first bloom, when it happens! Thank You!

Much like a lot of other people, my plumies are blooming and fading quick this year! Always glad to see the blooms and have the wonderful fragrances regardless. My, what I only know as 'Princess Pink' started blooming extremely early--even for Corpus Christi, and the blooms are unfurling and fading super fast with this "already summer" weather. Hope there are enough blooms to last into the beginning of Summer.

Yes one of my favorites especially once the blooms start curling backwards. This is a 3-tip one I will be giving away as a gift to a friend.

Thanks Mark! It's my very first! I rescued it from a nursery who was killing it, and it took me a long time and a lot of praying to get it to look like that Smiling
