I am getting excited; I think today or tomorrow may be the first bloom of the year.
VERY late of course......

Who has blooms already? Post them here!

Can you believe I am still waiting? GRRRRR

I went for a bike ride to check out some local trees. That gave me my 'fix'

This one I have called 'Beach Blush' - the color gets more intense later in the summer with the heat. I suspect it's a seedling of Aztec Gold.

One of the big hotels on the beach has a great row of plumeria trees, and they tend to be the first to bloom each year. They didn't disappoint me.

Here is another one

This tree is a sight!! I like it when they bloom with few leaves. Makes the blooms really stand out.

Last but not least: one I named 'Pink Goblet'; the blooms have a cup-shape.

Anything yet???

Oh yes! YES!!
Two different plumeria are now blooming.
The Gardenia Fragrant White (big tree, hence the TALL picture)

And my very own registered 'Bella Napoli' - picture taken just at dusk so a little dark...

Okay...I gave it a little shot of light so I could see!

Very pretty...but just look at what's to come!

I hope you and Bruce celebrate the first blooms of the season!

Thanks Kathy! You are so clever and that is exactly what that bloom looks like. And yes, lots more to come.
I have two more plumeria about to burst so maybe a couple more pictures by this evening... This heat will do it!

We actually went out for dinner for the first time in a long time last night, someone had given us a dinner gift card, really nice!!

Here is 'Red Pinwheel' opened for the first time today!

Pink Pansy could only manage four petals for its first bloom

WOW those are all so pretty, I am getting anxiouse for mine to bloom in two years, geeze that seems like a long time to wait, I may have to try and find one closer to blooming stage, my seedlings are about 7" high and looking very good.

Doris - you will be so frustrated waiting that long!!!

Here is Lava Flow

Oh Hetty...So pretty! I wish we had some kind of smello-vision!

Hetty that is beautiful.

anyone know a reliable place I can get a blooming size.

I have sent you a C-mail Doris.

I now have about a dozen plants in bloom, this weather is great to get them going!! Here are a few more pictures:
