has anyone seen singapore seeds around lately?

Seeds from Plumeria obtusa 'Singapore' are scarcer than hen's teeth... I'll keep you posted.

I do have seeds from a variety that is 'a' obtusa from Marathon in the Florida Keys. That particular plumeria sets seeds like nothing else I've ever seen. Let me know if you'd like to try some.

thanks hetty. do you have a pic of the plant?

I would be interested too...does it have true obtusa leaves?

The leaves are 'obtuse' - but not as deep green or as leathery as the P. obtusa 'Singapore' we are all used to seeing.
These seeds have now all gone to Luc but he will have some to share, I am sure if you ask nicely.
Check on the Florida Colors website for pictures of a Plumeria obtusa 'Costa Rica' and a P. obtusa 'Yucatan' - this tree, according to Luc, is closer to those ones.

i don't see how i missed that "Let me know if you'd like to try some." i guess i'll wait at this point, but will check out fcn for pics.

Whats the germination rate on those?
I understand SCP seeds are very difficult to germinate.
Thanks

Luc is growing them by the hundreds.... I think they're good

HMMmmmm.... now why would Luc be sprouting hundreds of them?
A new grafting base for Dwarf Orange Perhaps?
BTW Hetty, My dwarf orange has 12 inches new growth on 2 tips.
Easily recovering my losses when I cut so much to try grafting her.
Luc said there is only 1 thats harder to graft, Dr. Richard Criley.
When he gets the magic rootstock for the orange he promised to keep me in the loop.

They are species plants, there is a demand for them.

Glad to hear that Dwarf Orange is doing well!!

phew! okay, so they are not being used for grafting stock. lol

the P. obtusa 'Costa Rica' looks very desirable for its shortness.

hetty, do you P. obtusa 'Costa Rica' and P. obtusa 'Yucatan'?

Hetty the seeds I won, and planted have all sprouted, realy looking good.

Good news Doris! Great job.

Dete, I don't own either one, but I intend to remedy that. Luc donated some of the species plants to the Naples Botanical Garden recently and they impressed me, so I'll probably acquire both of these in the near future.

that luc! :thumbsup:

i really like the pic of the P. obtusa 'Costa Rica'. hmmm...

Hetty here are my babies, some still have hat on

They're looking great Doris, good job.
If you want the hats to come off, just mist them a few times in a row to soften the husk, and then gently pull.

Thanks,I did that with 4 of them but don't think the rest are quit big enough yet.

very nice doris!

Thank you
