For those who wants to see my blue frangipani.... it is quite hard to take pics of it, as the pics never show the 'real' colour. I think I have to get Peter to come and photograph it :mrlooney:

I would love to post more... .but most of them aren't flowering at the moment... TOO WET.... and too busy growing, which is good...

Here's one last pic taken this morning of one of my fruit salad plumerias. I'm taking a cutting of this guy.

Good morning Wal, if you wanted to grow a quantity of plumaria would it be better to do by seed or cuttings? Reason being a landscaper friend of mine thinks we might make a couple of dolars selling them to his clients . Thanks Don

Cuttings will get you more, especially if you want to grow a specific cultivar. Seeds take up to three years to bloom and they will be unique from the mother plant.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Sorry Don, I didn't reply but I see your question has been correctly answered. Yes, this would be the easiest way to make a buck. I've sold some myself from cuttings but generally I give them away. It's funny though, nobody ever offers to pay for one, they actually expect it for free from me when they visit. I'm no saint either if I visit someone with plumerias.

Really full garden Grand Master

Wal,I am surprised you did not take the plumerias with you.I have dug some really large ones with few roots and no soil and they are thriving.When I lived in Houston,Tx.it was far too wet and cold to leave plumerias out for the win ter so we just yanked them up and hung them in the garage until spring.About the first week in April they went back out,planted again and we usually had flowers by June.They are really tuff plants,they grow in some really dry harsh environments here in Guatemala and explode into bloom after the first rains.

This is on of my new ones Nakamoto Bouquet

Hi Scott, I took some whole plumeria (smaller plantings from recent times) and cuttings and left some bigger trees that the new owner wanted.

Happy Gardening
