Wow!! Amazing blooms!! So jealous. You're in heaven :)

OK, really nice photos.

But what's with all the snapped off inflos?

Is that from a weakness in the plant?

Or were you trying to pull them down to sniff them??

Hey Dave,
I am not a sniffer., do not smell plumies because of my asthma. I think because of the cooler weather the inflos are stiff/brittle and were high up on the trees. My cousins the one who was up the ladder and snapped the inflos by accident.
As the trees were large there are many more inflos, just not in bloom yet except for India.

Hi James. I think your cousin wanted those beautiful blooms in his house so they "accidentally" snapped off. My kids used the same line when they were little. Everything was "accidential". Accident or not, they are drop dead gorgeous. What are you fertilizing them with, if you don't mind sharing. I agree the June gloom this year has really slowed the plumeria growth.

Thanks again for the beautiful pictures. Mary

Cbad,
Thanks...No, it was an accident. I actually threw the cup with the inflos in the dumpster as the smell would congest my sinuses.

Thank again :)

Wow James! You're so lucky to have so many blooming already. I'm still waiting patiently for something to bloom for me.

You are right... UHO is indeed pretty pale in our climate. But India is beautiful! However, the two that just blow me away are Lolo's Red and Aurora Borealis. What beauties!

And I can't believe how calm you are with all those inflos snapping off! I would be crying buckets by now. :( Wish I was living closer, those flowers would have looked lovely in my Lei vase instead of the garbage can. You stinker you!

Beautiful! I can't imagine what they will look like with some heat.

I'm with No-Clue I would be crying a river losing the inflos!

Thanks for sharing your blooms. I will keep watching for more pictures.

WOW!!!!! so gorgeous and you have some real collectibles there....roxanne

James, with your email and my email both being so unreliable, I just wanted to let you know I got something REALLY sweet in the mail today. ;-)

It's an incredible collection of mature trees you have. Emerson's PN is giving fantastic color despite the cool weather, a good choice for your area!

Thank you for always being so willing to share your knowledge and plants. I appreciate your thoughtfulness very much!!

Very nice photos and so many blooms from so many varieties! Thank you very much for sharing.

It's also very interesting to see how temperature and sunlight can modify the color\intensity of the blooms showcasing another interesting characteristic of the plumeria. It's supposed to be even warmer tomorrow!

Cheers!

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing those pictures and your knowledge with us new to plumeria.

Ellie...

Beautiful pictures, gorgeous blooms, great collection!

Even in the dreary weather they are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.

I have to laugh at a heat wave with a temp of 84 though. The heat index was 99 and the temp 87 when I came in to work, at 0600.
Tally HO!

Thank you everyone for such nice compliments :)
I am sure everyone will be having a plumie bonanza this summer.
When the heat and sun gets really going next month I am sure there will be tons of other varieties blooming.

BeachP,
OMG @ 6:00am? Amazing!! I am not a heat person. In college I lived in Woodland Hills, it would get temps of 114 during the day in summer then drop to maybe 90 or so at night... I can only imagine your electric bill.

Thanks again everyone
Cheers
