Lol....;o)
Lucky you! I'm so excited......I have a feeling all of the five big ones are going to bloom this year. If the one in the garden does good after this coming winter, I will plant another one in the garden. ;o)))))))

They should grow well in your garden. Just remember dry, dry, dry soil is the condition for them in winter. They don't like cold wet soil, which rots and kills them.
With all the heat you receive during summer you should receive some flower spikes and lots of flowers.

Are your Plumerias blooming yet? Have they burned in the heat there?
A couple of my plants are burning from the very hot weather. I'm not sure why...because it's been so humid. Typically, they burn when it's hot and dry.

Wow. This plant has trippled in size since this picture was taken. I will post a pic so you can see.
Yes, one of my plumerias has three flower spikes. Not sure about this one yet. The two that are in the garden I can't get to at the moment......my sunflowers fell over and are blocking the path...(they are so heavy to lift). The other three year old one, which I think is going to have purple flowers has a very small root system (had to keep it in a small pot).
I also have four two year old Plumerias....don't see any flower spikes on them but they have really grown since I repotted them.

That's great! I know Plumerias can grow very quickly wuth a lot of heat. You should be getting flowers soon with all the flower spikes on your trees, right?
I visited a Palm Society member last week, who had a beautiful very large, impressive garden. He had a lot of very large, beautiful plumeria trees. I couldn't believe how large the plumerias were in just only 4 or 5 years. He gave me a cuttings of Plumeria 'Tomilson'. One of the cuttings is huge...basically, an instant tree. I have to plant it into the ground. I'll have to post a pic of the largest cutting. I've always wanted a Plumeria 'Tomilson', the flowers are beautiful and very fragrant.

Maybe the file size is too large to post on GoY? I know I have some photos which just won't post because they too large of a file size.

It's the "your options" that doens't work for me. I will try on a different computer.

I see. That's strange. Maybe you need to leave a message for Peter (one of the guys who started GoY).

"Your options" is working now.....hurray.
I posted a pic of this plant taken about a week ago.

Yes, you better! lol! :>)
My plumeria trees are just starting to bloom now. I have tons of flowers spikes on all my Plumeria trees. Even my large 10ft tall Plumeria in the ground has tons of flower spikes ready to open...and it always blooms late (Mid-July or later).
