Hi, my name is Cameron. A friend introduced me to plumerias last year by sending me some seeds. I was only successful a couple of times, and then she told me about another method and sent me more seeds. I floated the seeds in packing peanuts set on water with a little peroxide, and after 3 days practically all the seeds had roots. This time I was very successful, only losing 1 seed, but now I have 58 seedlings plus a NoId that I've had for 3 years(hasn't bloomed) and a cutting I received from the same friend. It was from a tree in her neighborhood but she isn't sure which cultivar it is. So far I've had it for a couple of weeks with sign of rot. I'm hoping it will develop roots soon. I had to place netting over my seedlings because grasshoppers had eaten two already, the netting seems to be working.

Here is my "Collection"
