| Its finally here. The first bloom from my pretty princess plumeria. This will be the second plumeria I ever got to bloom.
Im expecting the bud to open by tommorrow afternoon, and the bud is about 1 and a half inches tall (which means the flowers are probably at least 3 inches wide). Im going to post the pictures tommorrow, but wanted to give you all a heads up.
Good luck with all your plumerias and feel free to post some of your pics on here too! |

| Sorry but it doesnt look like it will be blooming today. The biggest bud grew up to 2 inches long today so The flower will probably be 4 inches wide! Im looking forward to seeing it. I do have a question though. Are the buds of a pretty princess plumeria suppost to be white? The leaves look like that of a pretty princess, but I thought the flowers of it were suppost to be pinkish. The buds of my pretty princess plumeria are white (maybe a hit of red on the rim of it, not sure yet).
If anyone has an answer for this I would greatly appreciate it, and Ill try to get those pics up for tommorrow :) Good luck! |

| I did promise some pictures today, so even though the flower isnt fully open yet Im going to post it. Sorry the quality isnt great because it was dark when I took the picture (and the room its in doesnt have great lighting). Ill post a better pic tommorrow afternoon, but until then... I hope you enjoy this one! =============================================================
 Good luck! |

| My inflo is crumbling!!!!!!!! At least I it got to make a full bloom open, but Ill be lucky if I get 4 flowers from the plumeria because buds are dropping like crazy. Entire pieces of the inflo are falling off with ease and I dont know why. The only bugs I reported are ants and they were hanging around the inflo. area. My other plumeria is in the same room and its blooming better than ever before so I dont think the climate of the room has anything to do with it. In this room temps have ranged between 68.9F - 90.0F (average of about 78-82F)and humidity has ranged from 30% (which was brief) to 74%. Average humidity has been in the 60% range. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. Since the plant is doing so badly I might even force it into dormancy and make room for a plant that needs the spot more. Enjoy the pics anyway! I was looking forward to seeing more of these flowers but I guess I will have to wait until next year :(

| The blooms smell great too! But I guess plumerias arent really ment to bloom indoors anyway and at least I got to see what the flowers look like (before a plumeria blooms you are always wondering what their flowers look like, but you can never look at that same plumeria again once the blooms are all finshed. Good luck everyone! |
