Every plumeria got some fresh soil, a new pot or both. They seem happy but boy are they drowsy! Usually I have some real leaves by now. But with the odd cooler night time temperatures (hi 50's), seems my plumies just want to stay asleep even though our days are sunny and almost reach 80. I have one 4" leaf on my oldest tree. She also has seed pods from last year.

I lost 3 branches during the winter to rot but better than I expected since I can't get them all into the GH any more. I am more confident about digging up the in-ground plumie for the winter for the second time and considering digging up the potted ones to help me save room...and save my back! I can probably keep the trees in the GH that way, too.

My 3 Aztec Gold have inflo and look really promising though sans leaves like everyone else.

I trimmed the Bridal Bouquet pudica in half hoping for a bush. Mine get really tall! Every cutting took and they all have teensy leaves on them. The pink pudica likes it's bigger pot and actually has the most leaves of all of them.

Although the Plumeria Forest is barren right now, it promises to be a good Plumeria year!
