Feed stores sell Chicken grit and Turkey grit. It makes nice toppings for pots. I use it mostly for pots of sempervivums. The grit helps them keep from rotting from touching wet soil.

Variegated Siam Red. Much nicer photo.

Variegated Siam Red Oh, I can't wait to see whatever mine is to bloom! Please do share about your adeniums on the adenium thread. We could always use more photos on that forum

I couldn't find the varigated Siam red in our database. Please add your photos, Michael, when you have the time.

Bai See Tong
Not truly a varigation I guess but a different leaf color that is hard to see in a picture without a normal leaf for comparison. Golden or yellow. I stole the inflo picture from my good friend @azgarden. Hers has bloomed and mine has not. We bought two and I obviously gave her the wrong one. Mine tried to out out an inflo this winter but it blasted.

I didn't know there was a variegated plumeria thread. I fell in love with this variegated Maya purchased at the last Houston Plumeria Show . I'll share another photo. I inquired about the flower. He said , "It's pink, but most buy for the foliage.". Is that true? It seems from this thread and Siam Red you indeed can have both beautiful variegation with gorgeous flowers!

Cheryl most people do buy them for the foliage not the blooms, including me. Instant gratification. Most of my variegated plants are still young and have not flowered yet but more are getting close. Maya is the most common variegated variety and a beautiful plant and should have red blooms. I have read there are several different "Maya" out there. I have 6-7 from 3 different sources. There is some difference in the leaf coloration. It is hard for me to find pictures of the flowers of variegated plumeria.
I have several new varieties I will be posting soon.

I look forward to seeing your variegateds, Michael. Considering they are in leaf with few flowers here for a good percentage of the time I like the idea of pretty leaves.

The last Plumeris show is in July. I intend to go early this time. Though I need another like a hole in the head, I will look for variegated red and kill two birds with one stone since I don't own a red.

Cheryl try Twisted Tropical nursery near Mobile. He is selling some variegated plants and may have a Variegated Siam Red. Reasonable prices and shipping. Very nice guy. Name is Josh.

They do have a Siam Red. It's $55. Is that a good price, Michael?

Yes that is a good price. Unless you import them yourself from Thailand. That is a bit cheaper but more risky and slower. Josh ships them for $6 which is hard to beat. Great place to buy. I think I had almost that much invested in mine before getting it here.

Thanks, that's good to know. I don't have any variegated ones yet.

Ooooooh, Dear! Twisted Tropucals is out of Variegateds but I could fill my cart with so many amazing plumeria from there! Curse you, MICHAEL! BAHAHAHAHAAA

Since plumeria go dormant and lose their leaves, I have decided not to invest in the variegated ones, however much I do admire them when they do have the leaves! So I buy my plumeria strictly for the blooms.

@emddvm I am seeing many of those sold out at Twisted Tropicals on the list last time at the Houston Plumeria Show here. The new list for July will be printed out soon. I think I will have to arrive early for the chaos, list in hand with a map of tables I need as I see many gorgeous flowers AND variegated leaf varieties that I simply MUST have!

I would like to see a copy of that list when you get it if you could post it there somewhere. Thanks.

Golden Long Leaves
Another golden/yellow leaf variety.

I guess I look at it a different way. I can enjoy the leaves on variegated plants for 9 months out of the year and I don't have to wait several years for them to bloom. And then have blooms last a couple of weeks. Maybe if I was in south Florida where they are winter hardy I would feel different. Regardless they are really nice plants and fun to grow.

@emdrdvm Here is the list from the last show. IDK where I found it. I can't find a list for the upcoming show in July unless they don't have it ready?

Thank you Cheryl. That is a lot of plants. I wish it was closer to me.
