Okay, my space is limited to (4) large plants, (though I can grow many 1-3 year plumies, long as I give them away, after they become too large for my available space).
So, being the impractical soul that I am, I found some old seed from Florida Colors, and Plumeria2U, (who often buy from FC) and planted all 36 of them, thinking that maybe one or two of the seeds would sprout....I really hate to waste anything, but these seeds weren't fresh, so I didn't expect many sprouts....
The ones labelled "Pink Pansy" were the first to sprout. I now also see a "Neon Lights" and a "J23"....which says a lot about FC seeds' viability.
Now I don't know much about plumeria, but I do know that when growing plumeria from seeds, one shouldn't expect clones of seed plants' parents, and that the offspring won't necessarily resemble their parents, though they might resemble one, at least. But I can't help but think that most plumeria nursuries carry nice specimens, so the result of their seeds might be exceptional, too, being the end-result of crosses between 2 nice specimens...and I'm hopeful Ill end up with a nice plant from at least one seedling? What are the odds on this? Do any of the members here grow plumeria seedlings? If so, what have been your results? And, -thanks.
