| My Penang Peach is still going strong. A new inflo just started up:
This plant had six inflos this summer. The plant has about 12 growing tips, so 50% bloom on the tips is quite good for a plumeria this far north and in a pot. I will likely have to do some root pruning next Spring. Have I mentioned this is one of my favorite plumerias? LOL! |

| I bet that cluster of blooms smells like HEAVEN! Just gorgeous! I can't wait for mine to bloom again. |

| Yes, it does smell nice. The more blooms there are, the further away you can sniff from. LOL! I'd liken the fragrance to a combination of ripe peaches and baby powder. |
|
| Dave that's just gorgeous!!! You really captured the peachy-yellow perfectly. I can easily see why this would be a favorite, mine is young and hasn't bloomed but from yours and everyone elses pictures of it but I think it's already a favorite of mine too! |
|
|
| Gorgeous, Dave. Even the leaves look perfect, don't they? Love those Guillot's Sunset, Labland! Maybe Bill could give you some insight into what's going on with the difference. |
|
| Wow Dave, Nice. I wish we could share in the smell. Jennifer, I have a GS and hope mine looks that good someday. Don't tell me your labs play with those blue balls? Peg |
|
| Its my favorite too. Mine is setting up a second round of Inflos. This is the first time I have noticed it to push second inflos on bloomed branches. Hopefully as it matures it will do this more often. |
|
| What a lovely shot Dave! I ended up with two Penang Pech this month. I found one at a local nursery and didnt want to buy it then because I know I have too many plants already. I eventually broke down and went back to buy it; I just couldn't get enough of that scent. I also ended up bidding on another one from Matt on ebay. XD Dar |

| Jennifer, I love GS. Don't know why yours are giving you different results, but just enjoy! One of mine is sending up a late inflo right now. Not sure there will be time for it to bloom. Maybe in the garage! LOL! kms2: 'Penang' may not be the sexiest flower around, but there are so many reasons to love this variety. moonie: this one is growing in part shade, perhaps that's why the leaves are so perfect. |

| Dave, BRAVO!! Love your Penang peach!! Mine bloomed this winter under the T-5v lights with little color, yours look wonderful! I know you are so happy with them. They look wonderful!! Jen..love Guillots Sunset too! Have an inflo on mine again, so im keeping my fingers crossed that i will see flowers soon. I have a few of them as well. Just can't have one of these beauties!! LOL.. OK, i have two Penang Peaches too! Shhhh... Beautiful pics everyone.. Laura Dave, i will get back to you about that info.. Ive had my hands full.. LOL But, i will get back to you soon!! |
|
| Dave and Jen, Great photos, both! Thanks for sharing. OK, Dave's flowers look exactly like my Cali Sunset...I'm suspecting that CS and PP are one and the same...which would mean that I have two of the same tree on my ridiculously crowded terrace...hmmm.... Greg |

| Just fabulous! I must add this to my collection. |
|
| Dave, that is a picture perfect inflo! Anything with a shape that great, inflo that full, and color and fragarnce that lovely is pretty darned sexy, IMO. (Greg, I'm 99% sure that Cali Sunset is a PP seedling and it is very hard to tell them apart.) And the foliage! When I saw the big PP in Kms2's yard the leaves were the first thing I noticed, they are so distinctive. Mine hasn't bloomed again--I only got it last spring--but I'm hoping it will next spring. Jen, it could just be that the smaller flowers and odd leaves are a result of a smaller root system. It should catch up next spring. Definitely a nice variety to have multiples of, from what I've read. I also received a GS from Bill (thx, B!) though mine had to fit into a suitcase! No giant antlers for me! poke, poke, LAURA, hehe |
