Plumeria- California, Arizona or Florida.
Weird request, but do any of you living in these areas have a plumeria on your property? I just started growing them this year and I’d love to purchase a cutting from you. Amazing plants. There's literally 1000's of different varieties, sizes, color and smells. The smells can range from candy, perfume or even sun tan lotion! You won't get blooms every year until they're older and established, but the wait is well worth it. Cuttings are simply taken from a plant, dried out for 7-14 days and then placed in well draining soil. It's fairly easy to establish a new plant from a cutting.
My first and only flowering plumeria from May of this year. There's a light, fruity fragrance to this. Last edited by lewdog; 07-17-2020 at 07:26 PM.. |

My dad was pretty into raising orchids the last 15 years or so of his life. I think he'd have liked those things.

Whenever I get out of the shower, I swoosh some Gold Bond powder on my plum area.

Oh yeah. I’m a nursery slut. The plant stand in Tempe and many Lowe’s and Home Depot have them. Since they’re grown in California, they take acclimation to the sun here. It’s also hard because if you’re looking for a certain one, you’re just taking a chance driving around trying to find a certain variety.

One of the wife’s and my favorite parts of going to Hawaii is smelling them. Maybe the best smelling flower there is.
