One of my favorite plants. The flowers are popular in Hawai'i for making leis. Here is SW FL, you can cut off any branch and stick it in the ground anywhere in full sun and you will get a new plant next season. Usually they sprout giant leaves from April until September, then it will start to bloom. Mine continue to bloom until the temps get below 50 deg F at night (around Dec) and then drops everything. Leaves, blooms... everything except the branches, and stays that way until it gets hot again in April. This year, we had a few nights below freezing and I have yet to find a Plumeria that survived, including the one I couldn't bring indoors. ::Tear rolling down my cheek::

I like this opinion
