Just wanted to share my happiness... PLUMERIA flowers!!
So...
A few years back I ordered a bunch of Plumeria seeds from bradsbudsandblooms.com
Got like 1-2 seed packs for 4-5 different cultivars.
Had no problem germinating... gave away lots of 18" started plants and kept the 5-6 best ones.
That was FOUR years ago.
They're not really fond of SoCal... lose their leaves every winter. I though they'd never bloom.
Just last week I'm noticing a flower cluster growing and taking shape. I can see the bright pink tightly wound flowers growing and I'm just counting the days until they unfurl.
I'm soooooo psyched!!!
I'll post a pic when they start opening.
Should look like this:

When I was in the Bay Area, I would grow Plumerias from sticks we typically got at the ABC store in Hawaii. Had to take them indoors for the winter (OK with me!) Naturally, as I hauled them in through the patio door, some branches would break off, hence MORE PLUMERIA PLANTS.
Never grew any from seeds. That is awesome.
Here's a blast from the past. That's the old deck in the backgroud, not Waikiki Beach.
Best of luck.
