Re: A Plumeria Thread
When I was bitten by the tropical plant bug in 1992, plumeria were the first plants I acquired. I've never gotten tired of them. My collection consisits of Princess Victoria, Princess Anne Rosselli, Princess Anita Rosa, Kauka Wilder, Duke, Hilo Beauty, Scott Pratt, Celadine, Kaulanani, Jeanne Morange Jr., Miami Rose, and Madame Poni. I plant mine in the ground around March 15 of each spring, and dig them up in the fall around Oct. 15 and store them in my garage. But this past winter, I was unable to supply enough heat to them and my 8 to 12 foot trees are now 1 to 2 foot trees except for 2. The severe winter did considerable damage to them. Obviously, not many blooms this summer. I have historically fertilized with a Super Bloom fertilizer and my trees have flowered profusely. I have lots of pictures of some of my plumeria in my gallery.
