Was the plumeria pod ripe yet??? It takes them about 9 months on the mom. No clue if they ripen if cut off before they are ready. A thumbs up is given when someone likes what you have to say...you can give them too...just click on the green thumb and it will turn black showing that you gave someone a thumbs up. If you want to take it back, just click on it again and it will go back to green.
