| It's not QUITE summer but this is peak season for plumeria in my part of the country and I intend to post a LOT of pictures so I decided to start a new thread! This is Guadelupe Fernandez |

| The Australians have a funny way of naming their plumeria, or frangipani as they would say. This is (ahem) 'White Pinwheel' and this is 'Hazy Pink' |

| I so wish that dwarf forms of plumeria could be developed, like a dwarf Vera Cruz Rose, or the stunning Guadalupe Fernandez.... They're too tall for me to keep! |

Wow! Your Guadalupe is super-duper gorgeous!  It looks much better than the pix I saw I think in FL Colors.©by Gigi Plumeria "Gardening is my favorite past time.

| I agree, and like the way the blooms are lifted above the foliage for display i |

It is definitely one of my top ten. I got pretty lucky with the light in that shot but thanks for the compliments  |

 A day without sunshine is like, you know, night. |

| They are all beautiful but GUADELUPE is simply breathtaking How is the scent??? What is the approximate size of the flowers??? I am also a big fan of the plumeria that hold their inflos so high above the foliage!!! As you can guess, I am REALLY tempted by this variety! |

| Flowers are an average size and the scent is 'nice' without being outstanding. The beauty of it makes up for any shortcomings! It has definitely ended up in my top ten. |

| Hetty, Since I know Hawaiian Rose also made your top 10, what are the other 8??? |

I'm not having much luck on plumeria blooms yet. My December Puu Kahea inflos are done for the year but got rewarded with 6 new branches. The only new bloom is the Star-white, this one is fragrant: ©by Gigi Plumeria "Gardening is my favorite past time. I grow whatever plant that catches my attention."

| I love your Star White ....wonder if it's related to my Oahu Star? I'm. so happy my OS survived her spring mishap, poor baby, she's now only 5 inches tall (cut down from a decent -sized cutting)..above the soil line, but putting out glossy claws & leaves, a real trooper, that one! (Thanks, Hetty!) |

| Thank you, I think this is my only more yellow (than white) plumeria. I searched Oahu Star and they look gorgeous Glad you are able to save it. ©by Gigi Plumeria "Gardening is my favorite past time. I grow whatever plant that catches my attention."

| (Me, too, believe me!) Am moving her today, to a larger window....Gotta run, am posting from library, and I've only 18 min. left computer time... Will check in on the Kindle after work, though. |

 Plumeria stenopetala is one of my favorites. It blooms a long time and the scent of the unique, spidery flowers is out of this world. Therefore, I have three. My latest one is this hanging basket version, it has just started to bloom. Florida Colors sells the small grafted plants and so you can easily do this yourself.  |

| I'm going to enlarge this photo, so I can admire it properly...:Nice job, Hetty. Does the basket provide enough root -room? Ive decided to try to graft my steno -babies to a tall seedling, instead. 'Course, it may be a while, my steno -babies are only 2 inches tall!!! |
