Hey, I only wish my yard could be jungle-like! Sighing! With all the orchids, staghorns, bromeliads, and tillandsia on shelves and hanging under my oaks and cedars, that part of the yard (back yard) sort of looks jungle-like, but in the fall, those trees are truly barren, no plants and no leaves.

Even though you said I would not see inflorescence for three years, I take a peak at those two "monsters" every day. Hope runs eternal, right? Thumbs up

You know, Hetty, I am always taking cuttings with inflorescences during the summer and I not only root them without problems but don't know that I have ever stopped flowering from occurring. Perhaps I am simply lucky or perhaps I grow more vigorous varieties. I don't know. It always amazes me to read that someone has had a plumeria (not a tiny seedling) that has never bloomed in five years. I have seen these comments dozens of times over the last couple of years. I just can't imagine waiting five years and never seeing a flower. Sort of like orchids, these plants are not exactly gorgeous when not in flower.

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.
