Mediahound said 'Regarding the Jade Vine, we have a member here who has gotten his to set seed, his name is Jordon and his username here is JNSTropic. He lives in South Florida. His Jade Vine finally set seed, something like after 30 or 40 years (I forget the exact number). fwiw, I would consider him a Master Expert Gardener. I guess seed is not common from this vine (or perhaps not when in our climate). I was lucky enough to obtain a seedling from him maybe about a year ago or so and its doing fine. Jordon frequently redesigns his website, but at the moment, you can see he is showing pictures of his Jade vine blooming on his flower pictures from May, 2008 page - Flowers of May 08
Not sure how long the picture will last on his site, so it may disappear from here at any time, but here you go take a look at it'

Jarred has my Jade Vine a little mixed up. It is 9 or 10 years old. I had my first one die after 10 years - fungus killed it due to the shade of a poinciana. The man that first had success in south Florida had them die all the time. He propagated them and always had a few growing in his trees.
My site has the current month and one month past of the plants from my garden. Then there are all sorts of albums and special pages that are permanent. I was concerned that people would miss the older months so I started to make movie clips. If you go to my site (default.aspx and go to the movie clip page) you will see some more pictures of my Jade Vine.
You should try orchids. They can be shipped all over the world and have something for everyone. When I started to grow orchids in 1945, my first ones were native orchids that I found up in oak trees. You said that your plumeria hasn't flowered yet. I have had a small one bloom. I like mine better when the get really tall, not too good in the house.
