Hi folks:

Some of you may remember, I'd posted on someone else's thread that an unrooted cuttings that I received in April (I think?) has since rooted *and* has a bloom inflo.!

One bloom did 'blast', but 2 others have begun to open! yeeha!

Anyways...the cutting was purchased via an ebay seller, and was stated to be 'Pele's Red'...don't know if that's an accurate name, or not. They were inexpensive, so if not, that's OK.

The 2 blooms that are slowly unfurling are very pale yellow.

Do some red flowers begin as yellow and 'turn' red? I know this happens with other plants/flowers, such as Brugmansias...flowers will open white and gradually turn pink or peach.

Not that it matters...I'm happy!!

I'll take a photo tonight.

Also...this has probably been asked before, but how long does a Plumeria bloom last on the plant? I hope it's at least a day...so I can get that photo!
