Very nice fine job Clare wonderful pictures also. I have not been at this not too long but it is alot of fun waiting for that flower. Watching those little seeds grow wondering what they will be. Grafting looks interesting I purchased dozen cuttings from homestead fla and biggest part of them rooted. Don't really want to spend the money on them anymore. Alot have rooted but the ones that didn't were a bit pricey. grafting might be the answer thanks for your time and energy and everything you do to help others. Dana

Thanks for the kind words, Dana. I don't blame you for not wanting to purchase any more, but I have a feeling that might change. These flowers have a way of drawing one in. Believe me, I know what it is like to lose expensive cuttings to rot. It is no fun. Grafting is usually the answer when a cutting refuses to root for me. Anyhow, you might be able to trade cuttings in the future, and that is a great way to increase your collection without spending any money. If you see a plumeria in the front yard of a home in Florida or Hawaii, don't hesitate to knock on the door and ask for a cutting. Most people are happy to share a piece of their tree -- especially if you shower them with compliments:-) That's another great way to increase your collection. Thanks again, and I'll see you around Dave's:-)
