Growing plumeria takes so much patience, but before you know it you are rewarded! Two of our favorite babies is Kealani and Kiya, which has already bloomed.
What is funny about the two, is the inflo's themselves. Kealani has very pointed tips and only opens up half way..even when they fall off, they are still only half-way opened...the centers are veeery yellow with pure white petals...it grows in clusters. Individually they are pretty..but the clusters are awesome..and that the way she grows.
Kiya is gorgeous by itself, and never gets more than 5 flowers open at a time...so she can show her glorious shape!
Nature is AWESOME!

As an aside...the lens I used for this shot was a Nikon 24mm Tilt Shift lens...the lens actually tilts which helps to keep everything in focus. It is a problem for us flower photographers to keep the front and the back flowers totally in focus..if you look closely at this pic..you can see clearly all the way to the leaves in the back ground plant! I rented this lens to try it out and it is awesome. It is also hard to use and expensive! $2,200 new! Sad

Not only does nature know how to pose its inflos for the best look...look at the leaf structure forming a perfect frame to show off its beauty! aahhhhh...why do we love them so much? What a silly question!
