They take a while to come out of dormancy sometimes, but they always do well for me. Make sure you clean off all the fungicide, soak the corms in water, and dust with rooting hormone if bald. For some reason west coast customs likes to confiscate Plumeria, but they have never taken my bananas. $50-55 shipping may seem expensive But considering the cost of express shipping and the certificate as well, I think it's reasonable. Just make sure they include the phytosanitary inspection, this is important to ensure the plants are not diseased and confiscated.

the negative usually come from the bald corms I think. Takes a bit more work to get them going and sometimes they don't make it after the very slow start. BK has a few id like to have as well as ATG. the prices re about the same as in the US but that shipping does hold me back. If they could just do a little better say 35 id jump on it I think.

The telling will be in the flowers and fruit.

they wouldn't be true or variegated right? just a regular green type from seed?

I searched future and it looks like the Florida variegated is not the same as AE AE and is not seeded.

What I gather from that thread is that AeAe has rounded tip fruit and Florida fruit has a nub on the tip. One of my two "florida" pups just developed a half white leaf like the thread mentioned as well. Perhaps we can trade a pup so we each have one strain growing next to the other. It will increase the chances of one of us getting fruit from each one.

If it had seeds, they would not produce variegated seedlings, as with any other chimera variegated plant. Typically any plant with no pattern or symmetry to the variegation are chimera (mutated and non-mutated tissue coexisting in one plant to create a random marbling effect) and will not come true from seed except on rare occasion. Look at morelli for an example of genetic rather than chimera variegation. It is not a chimera like AeAe or Florida. Each leaf has a virtually identical, predictable and symmetrical variegation pattern that is genetic and will be passed on to it's seedlings.
