very interesting... I'm of the belief that you can't get the plumerias roots too hot for them... they do well sitting on the hot roof top in a small pot... the roof temperatures will often get to be 165*F... In Nicaragua they grow as the last large vegtation going up the sides of the active volcanos... bathed in hot sulpher gasses.. their roots going down in the ground above what is an open caldron of lava.. they thrive naturally in such conditions.. and in great health.. OH.. one of the resorts vsited I believe in Panama... they would routinely burn off excess vegtation around the resort... plumeras were planted around and the fires would burn everything around them.. up to the trunks of the trees... and havng burnt the scrub away.. the fires would go out... the trunks would show the ..fire damage but would be relatvely unaffected...
well flower pictures at some point from NYC I hope
