It sounds like you'll have to do what I have done for the last two decades. Reduce the size of plumeria to be able to move them through doors, even double-doors. You'll just be able to produce more rooted cuttings. Hurray!

I have to stake all of mine to keep the wind from blowing them over. Your season is sort of backwards from us in the Southeast. I can see why your Celadine is "confused".
:tongue_smilie:

I had hopes that my Celadine var. Ramsey would bloom this year with the twice-as-large, almost totally yellow flowers. I have several Celadine in bud so perhaps one of those will be the one. I need to properly tag that one plant but have to see it bloom to do so. I saw yesterday that I have a Celadine with a single stem and now with seven tips. That's going to be a spectacular plant. Many people think the Celadine is sort of "old world" and "ho-hum", but I love them. Why would anyone want to have plants that take 5-7 years to bloom? I know, different strokes for different folks. Whistling I grow my plumeria for their blooms not for their fantastic shape!

I now have Slaughter Pink, Scott Pratt, Madame Gallibert, (to be named) seedling, Jack's Dwarf Yellow, Celadine, and Vera Cruz Rose in bloom. Lots more with inflo. I am catching up with you, @dutchlady1. Hurray!

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.
