enough blooms for a lei!

About two to three hundred blooms go into a lei like that

That is amazing, and I am excted with my 4 blooms

I bet the scent was wonderful! We stack string ours but I love the full look of this one. I love it!!!

Absolutely gorgeous. That's a Plumeria boa, and way more fragrant than feathers!

The one in my avatar is one I made this week. I stack-strung that one, but shortened the stems on the blooms so it was more full. It took about 75 blooms.

Very pretty.
Thanks for sharing.

Oh my! Gorgeous and I'll bet it smells heavenly having it on.

Wow!

I made this last year for a friend's special birthday...

That is absolutely beautiful, and here I am feeling great about the buds I discovered on my plant today.

As well you should Doris. So the heat didn't fry that baby huh?

Darn it I posted my open flower and my large plant and I ure can't find it. here is my flower this morning.
Hetty would you cut that extended branch off and try rooting it.

Not necessarily. Can you give it a bigger pot? Remember, these are trees!
Your blooms are GRRRRREAT!!!

Love the Lei....
Doris your bloom is very nice.

Gorgeous lei! We had a hedge of plumerias in Hawaii. I never appreciated them until I got home and realized they wouldn't grow here without extra care.

OK Hetty I will repot it, by the way both these plants I purchased from you.

Good morning, DutchLady. I have taken a few more pics of the unknown Plumeria, and hopefully they will help ID the plant. The stem/leaves are very similar to my 'Celadine' and that is what I thought this plant was since it is planted amoung several 'Celadine' plants. However when it bloomed it was certainly not the 'Celadine'. The petals are apprxomimated 1 1/2" long, 3/4" wide, and some petals are ovate and some slightly pointed. The flowers have a slightly sweet fragrance, but nothing like the wondeful fragrance of my 'Celadine'. I would call the stripe along the back of each petal fuchsia rose and this color shows through on the top of the petal as a soft pink. The center of the flowers is bright yellow and the rest of the petals are pure white.



Neat little insect on that last pic. What variety do I have?
