Have I lost it??

11 years ago

So my new Plumeria obsession is only 2 months old and already I have bought 23 plants and 8 cuttings! Even though I have no idea what I am doing, I have yet to kill a plant! And so far it looks like 6 out of the 8 cuttings are showing some leaves so that's a good sign right?

After two trips to Jungle Jack's my collection is as followed. Ok so I cheated and wanted instant gratification and bought only 5 and 7g plants. Almost all are blooming.

1. Elsie

2. Whirlwind

3. Premium White (no idea what that is)

4. Thumbalina

5. Divine

6. Inca Gold

7. Christina

8. CA Sunset

9. Rhonda

Vienna Rose
J105
Aztec Gold
Scentsational
Tipsy

Others:

Lurline
Kaneohe Sunrise
Kaneohe Sunburst
Dean Conklin
NOID
Celadine
Celadine
Charlotte Ebert
Waimea

Cuttings that are rooting

Love
Zee
Janada
Guillot Sunset

And a few others that I don't remember the names.

My FAVORITE so far are J105, Scentsational, Rhonda, Charlotte Ebert, Inca Gold, Aztec Gold and Tipsy. Scentsational is AMAZING!! The flowers and fragrance is to die for. But J105 is STUNNING to look at! Charlotte Ebert scent is hypnotic.

Right now I want E.T. Lemondrop, Morange 93 and Metallica but I better study up on Al's Gritty Mix first so I don't mess up trying to root that Metallica! :)

Great collection! Look on the trunk of the premium white. FW means fragrant white which is usually scentsational. KW means Kens white.

Thanks Mike! I want more though... LOL.

Ok I just checked the trunk and it said "PW"... no idea what that means but when I compared the leaves of the NOID to my Scentsational they are not the same. So for now it's a mystery. No inflos on that yet either... but the plant is impressively large... so maybe I'll get luck and an inflo will form soon.

Hello No Clue,
I LOVE VIENNA ROSE!!! I have a small 1 gal and am tempted to call Jungle Jacks after I get back from Florida to see if they have any in the 5 gal..I also have many of the same on your plumeria list but living in NY I couldn't justify the shipping costs of these larger plumerias.

Andrew I love Vienna Rose too. The flowers are simply stunning. It was NOT on my wish list but once I saw it, I had to take it home! I came there thinking I will pick up Scentsational and Purple Jack... I came home w/ 6 plants instead! J105 surprised me as well so that had to come home w/ me also. This is getting out of control.
