Ok, so I bought this Plumeria start in Hawaii 3 years ago. It was a very ugly, stick looking thing that stuck out of the soil in the pot that I had planted it in. It didn't have any leaves, and sometimes had this clear liguid oozing out of it. But I stuck with it......after about 6 months it got a few leaves, then within a couple of monthes, the leaves would fall off. I was getting discouraged. Then, about 2 years ago, the leaves were not falling off, they kept growing and getting bigger. Wahoo!
This past June I noticed this growth in the middle of the stalk. It looked like broccolli was growing! So, I did some checking online and found out that those would soon be flowers!!!!!!!! Boy was I excited.
So here are a couple of pictures of the flowers, taken this morning. I will be enjoying my Hawaii flowers for some time to come, there are lots of buds still growing!
