What's so amazing about this tree is that there's no sun-burned leaves. The temps were 114ºF/46ºC. and higher before I got there. Plumeria trees love extreme heat, however, these kinds of temps almost always burn the leaves.

I hate this kind of heat! I still vividly remember when we had a 132°F/55.5°C heat index here, where I live back in July of 2006. The air conditioner couldn't keep the house cool...and my neighbor's very tall Eucalyptus trees we still there. I hope it never happens again, because the twelve giant trees were cut down in 2007.

No, most of the Plumeria rubra trees are dormant, now. There are some with leaves and a few flowers, however, it's very few. Plumeria obtusa I've seen blooming, mine blooms anytime we have warm to hot weather. My plant has buds and has been blooming on-and-off for the last few months (because of the very warm temps we've been having this winter so far).
