Jan you are correct most need to keep potted and bring in in winter. I live in the orlando area I leave mine out all year BUT bring in when they call for frost and freeze. I am looking at getting them from Thailand and there are so many kinds the problem is min order and most the doubles are at-least a 60 -90 day wait to get them. The regular ones don't take that long. min orders on most of the hybrids are 100 per case. the older 2-3 or 4-5 yo branched are 20-25 per case. they would be coming from the same company in Thailand that we got our grafted plumeria in last co-op BUT im getting all the info BEFORE opening the co-op no confusions this time.
This is a pic of sisters bloom






I will get more info in the next two days

Thanks Mike!!! It is great to be here!!! Absolutely loved those doubles!!! How is your back doing? Hope those shots have helped!!!

Count me in Mike, love the double. Is there any yellow?

I was searching the web and found this site. It is a must see for dreamers like me http://www.siamadenium.com/ Be patient for it to load. There is one double with Black blooms.

Sam there is one that is kinda yellow but all the doubles require a 60 or 90 day advance notice is the info i have as of right now
I have put in another call for order/ship dates on all of them ill keep you all posted.

I am interest in all of the ones you listed but can you explain to me why they are grafted? I noticed on e-bay all of the Thai ones say they are grafted but I really see that with the ones I have bought locally.

I've always assumed it was to make multiple plants from 1 plant.

to get a true identical plant you cannot raise from seed if there is any other pollen around due to cross pollination. if they cross pollinate the ones grown from seed can look different. So most growers are growing and selling different ones. they take a small one grown from seed. and then take a cutting of the one (like the purple) "mother plants" and graft to the small one grown from seed. then you know its going to grow to look like the mother plant and they know that it will be a purple one or what ever the mother plant looks like.

DID YOU ALL KNOW THIS IS MY SITE? AND IM MAKING MONEY OFF IT? WOW IM BETTER THEN I THOUGHT.

GOOD NIGHT ALL
MIKE

You may not be making money but they are losing money if this website gets bigger than them. And it will, since there are no subscription fees and lots of sharing of info. Obviously they are threatened. Holding on tight and being nasty doesn't work well on the internet......

I sure love that double your have there. Count me in, too, please.

LOOK AT THE FIRST POST MOST INFO THERE NOW

MIKE

Hate to say it, but I'll pass. I would get a seedling but I would want to pick a specific one. Also October can be very cold here.
