I will go out later and take some pictures of a couple of plumeria that I cut back a month or so ago. I will take a couple of pictures of the cuttings sitting in a bucket of coarse perlite so you can see the tips that were removed.

I don't really know whether those cut ends with new growth (done in the spring) flower the same year (summer/fall) or not. I simply have never noticed. I think @Hetty believes that it will be the next year before (possible) flowering, so perhaps she kept up with this. I have a feeling that she is correct that branches/trunk won't flower the same year that they have been cut. I do label my cuttings as to the date they were taken, so I do have a time-table for their rooting. That's about it for record-keeping.

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.
