The first Plumeria bloom
They’re so easy to grow. Just cut off a limb and stick it in the ground, but they die to the ground after a freeze.
We’ve had hard freezes the last four years. The mature plants have always come back from the roots. The day before an expected freeze. I severely prune them, saving the cuttings in the garage until Spring, when I plant the cuttings.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
