Default Re: A Plumeria Thread

That particular plumeria, Maya, is imported from Thailand which is famous for imparting viruses in their plumeria and producing some of the wildest looking variegated blooms around. In the case of Maya, the leaves became variegated. These viruses are commonly thought to be transferrable from one plant to another if the are in close proximity but to my knowledge, they have not produced any fatalities. My own Princess Victoria is a virused plumeria with beautiful, but only occasional, variegated blooms.
