I stumbled across a massacre!

Literally...
I was leaving my FL neighborhood last week and drove past a giant pile of lawn waste at the curb for pick up. My eye barely caught a huge pile of plumies! So yes, being the hoarder I am, on my way back home I rummaged though and snatched up all the beautiful cuttings at the curb. It looks like they hacked the whole thing down by the diameter of the stems :(

My bonus because when cutting off the leaves to dry them out, one had an inflow with 3 buds... so I left it on to see if it would open so I'd have a clue as to what my rescue was. Turns out to be a slaughter pink :) I now have 10 wonderfully large cuttings that someone thought was trash.

I need a bigger yard. Or rehab.

    My son, husband and grandson have found them by the curb before and it is always a nice surprise. One of the best things that I could get. Enjoy and keep your eyes open everyone, Barb

    Sounds like they really slaughtered that pink!

    The only one who leaves plumeria cuttings by the curbside in my neighborhood here is me!
