I have grown Plumeria for three decades. As far as I know I have never seen a tip/branch growing off of a flower stalk. Perhaps it happens all the time and I just never noticed it. This is a 4-tip Celadine and has been in bloom for almost 4 weeks. Should I now call it a 5-tip? Shrug!

This is a 6-tip Celadine and the base is over 2" in diameter. The "Mother" plant where this cutting came from has a base of over 4" and it has always grown potted. I think this cutting was rooted last summer.

Last but not least is Malysian Red getting ready to flower. It is a 3-tip plant.

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.
