David, that particular plumeria was grown from gifted seed and thus I don't have a clue who the pollen parent was. Keep in mind I have never had seeds of my own, only seeds gifted by others. That will change this summer/fall (hopefully). Even then, I won't know the pollen parent. I had eight different varieties in bloom during the time that 'K's Honeysuckle Rose' was in bloom. The plants closest to her were 'Madame Gallibert', 'Slaughter Pink', 'Vera Cruz Rose', and 'Scott Pratt'. But that doesn't mean any one of them was the pollen parent. During that same time I also had 'Jack's Compact Yellow', 'Malaysian Red', 'Riviera Rainbow', and several 'Celadine' in bloom.

I think the first germination occurred in 7-10 days and the rest germinated within another 10-14 day period. I potted them all up on July 10, so those plants would have been 2-4 wks. old. This was summer and in a greenhouse. I did not use any sort of heat mat.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
