| hey everyone! total n00b re plumeria here and have somehow ended up with a varied bunch of plumeria seedlings , cuttings and small trees . its headed toward winter here in new zealand - I live in a subtropical part of it - and my three small trees are showing what is either claws or inflow and I was hoping someone might recognise which ? Im thinking its likely to be leaves at this time of year , but am hoping......they're inside plants for the cold season since they were greenhouse raised and I can put them in a warm sunny spot by window . will it still lose all its leaves if inside ? would be so grateful for any comments , hints, tips or links !~ have also joined a facebook group for help and suggestions   |

| They look like new leaves to me. I keep my plumeria in a greenhouse during the winter and eventually they lose almost all of their leaves as I slow down the watering. A few will keep some leaves all winter but not many. Michael |

| At that stage, I can never tell for sure whether it's new leaves or an inflo forming but our Plumie expert @Dutchlady1 will surely know! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, in hopes that it's the beginnings of an inflorescence! This is an old picture and I no longer have Plumeria trees but I think the inflo is forming in the center of the new leaves. ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |

| The tips are not developed enough to tell whether you have leaves or buds coming. You'll know soon, though. It varies so much by area too! I just spent a few days on the southern California coast and they are just starting to get leaves. In Florida we already have tons of blooms! |
