shock and awe?

Do you want them to bloom in the winter? What is the key to getting them to bloom better in the summer?

Do you find they respond better to being planted directly in the ground rather than remain in pots?

Hey Dave. I meant that to be more humorous to the fact that they wouldnt bloom for me when it was perfect conditions. No I would much rather they bloom in the summer. I would attribute this to their reaction to stress. Much like a lot plants that will flower after a stress event. Being in the ground I noticed a lot of growth as to be expected. I had a very busy year and really neglected my plants. I am thinking out from about 40 down to my best and most important 10-15. Anything someone here sent or a desirable one will make the cut. The rest I'm giving away to family and friends.

Wow, Psycho looks so cool with the crinkled petals!

It may have been the nice long season in the ground that did the trick for them. Or they just reached a re-blooming size.

I put Maverick in more sun and directly on the ground this season and she grew a lot. Then I tried to move her and found huge roots had settled from the drainage hole. Now she has a inflo growing in the dead of winter!

Next year I'm going to the uncooperative ones and try beating the trunks with a bat :)

ah the good old fashioned "plumeria time out"
