Thanks Milky. Did you grow the Frangipani's from seed or are they some kind of cutting. I know nothing of these plants as you can tell, but have considered getting seeds in the past as the plant has beautiful flowers and a heady scent (so I'm led to believe). I'm also told they are extremely tender and need fairly high temperatures during winter. Is all that true?

They are tender, but will take as low as 10 degrees. Yes they need as much sun as possible, and to grow from seed is a labour of love. They need to be about 4 years before they flower, and then it may be another 3 to 4 years before they actually flower to their true colour. Hence, my just coming up to 4 years old just looks like a 2 foot twif stuck in a pot, but I am praying for it to "do its stuff" for me this year.....pleeeese

I hope so too. Please show your pics if and when it does decide to flower.
Best of luck.

So tht's what a frangipani stem looks like. Are they seedling frangipanis I can see?
