I tip my hat to you.

In my opinion, 'Celadine' is as good as it gets when it comes to rooting, growing, using as root-stock, flowering, and fragrance. Too many people new to plumeria growing, purchase hard-to-root plumeria cuttings and when they die, they think they did something wrong. 'Celadine' belongs in everyone's collection. I was told by a large grower/hybridizer on Maui that Celadine's fragrance is what all other plumerias' fragrances are judged by.

Again, this is just me talking, if someone doesn't have a lot of experience in rooting cuttings, and if he/she wants difficult-to-root plumeria, purchase those that are rooted. Pay a few dollars more for piece of mind. A dead plant, regardless of how little money was spent for it, is still money wasted.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
