Nice photo Bushbernie.
Almost every place we rented in a village in Mexico had one in the yard. Mostly yellow ones (R. 'alba'). I am wondering if they are easy to care for. The tree itself is interesting even without the flowers (for us Northerners).

They're extremely easy to care for in tropical and sub-tropical areas. They are the staple shrub in nearly all gardens here as they tolerate full sun, heat and fairly dry conditions. They are even salt tolerant so you'll find them in many gardens close to the beaches here.

I appreciate your info.Thanks.

Very pretty flowers! The plumeria trees must be starting to bloom there, right? How many months do they bloom there?

Most of my plumerias will be going dormant by the first of the year, my large tree looses its leaves in February and it has lots of flowers right now.

Yes Delonix, they're blooming right now. They start blooming at the end of Spring (November) and continue to flower through the summertime into early Autumn (December to April). My two Plumeria rubras then drop all their leaves over the winter months.
