It looks so healthy, and I move it around the greenhouse chasing the sun. Cannot see any sign of anything that may be a flower starting, but leaves popping out every other day.

Yes it is growing well, but I just cant make it flower...or maybe it doesnt flower til later over here.....It requires a minimum of 6 hours strong sunlight during the summer so its constantly moving.....Thanks Eileen and Alan

Sometimes the flower spikes can start late...however, the next spring if the flower spike doesn't fall off it will bloom. I've had flowers on my Plumeria trees bloom for 3 years from one flower spike. It's not too unusual here.
They can benefit from high-bloom fertilizer...if it doesn't bloom this year it could possibly the following year. The latent spikes/buds are in the stem usually the fall before the following spring or summer they bloom.
Remember Plumeria need very hot temps (High of 90F/32C at least and lows of 70F/ 22C) and sun.
Good luck! : > )
