Mike I don't have any idea what any of mine are. The white/yellow one does not lose its leaves in the winter and keeps its blooms as well. The other ones were sticks I got from friends because I liked the color or the fragrance. Names? We don't need no stinkin' names down here!! At least, that is the general idea most places. There are nurseries that do keep track of the latin names of their plants but plumeria are so common and root so easily that I doubt they sell them as no one would buy them when they get them free.

The ties you see on mine are because they are on the roof and in mid size plastic pots. I tie them to keep them from blowing over when we get a lot of wind. Of course, if there were a hurricane coming I would either bring them into the terrace or lay them down on the roof and hope. Mainly I just hope there won't be a hurricane They rarely hit here in Merida, and when they do it is mostly the heavy rains that cause damage. Our beach place though, it gets hit much more often and by big ones off the Caribbean. It's been a few years since we had a direct hit by a big storm over there so I'm really hoping this year isn't our turn.
