Nicole, You must have been able to intuit my tastes in plumeria, because of all of JJ's plumeria--and he's got seemingly hundreds--Jenny is one that I covet most. Yours is lovely! Great choices, too :) LH, as Jen pointed out, looks a lot like Waimea. But regarding Waimea on eBay, if you are patient and willing to bide your time, you will be able to find a good price on it, I would think. Over the course of 2011 there were quite a few for sale. I didn't see MR when I was down there last--Carol and Luc rave about it, I'm sure with good reason. As for the Thai, I'll have to look at the photo again...that's the problem with those letter-number names... Just "hollah" anytime you need my Enabling powers! LOL I intend to post pics of every bloom I get this season ;)

Hi X, I agree with Emily , you have quite a beautiful collection there ! All of the named varieties are some of the best!!! You have quite a few that I still want myself! Good luck this summer with your new trees. I know you will have blooms galore to share with us! Thanks for sharing your collection !!! Love Kauka Wilder!! Gorgeous!!! Laura

And yet another wrong cutting. I bought 5 India cuttings from Derrick. Three just bloom. This one of them (all identical). This is a recent picture of my India I have for many years, This is a comparison of the stems: Derrick on left, mine on right, You see India is a robust grower with fat branches. Derrick's India has thin branches. There is no way what Derrick send me is India. It looks like Kimo. Kimo has thin branches and the petals are rounded, like Derrick's India. Here is a picture of Kimo I have. The flower also smells like Kimo. It does not have the vining that India has either. There is no doubt in my mind that what he send me as India is really Kimo. I was suspicious about it from day one because all the cuttings had thin branches. No telling what you going to get when you order from Derrick.

Hi Bill, Yes, it seems to be working good for my plants..It looks a little cluttered, but the plants seem to like it so that's all that matters! Next year I'll have to come up with something else though. We are going to start remodeling our home and adding a pool, so I will be spreading them out along the wall a little bit more. Plus they will all be bigger, so I'll be putting them in bigger pots. But I'll still try to use the umbrella method, especially since we'll probably get a couple more of them anyways for around the pool.(for people to be able to sit in shade). It's just so darn hot out here! Where you are it's a good deal cooler (as in 20 or so degrees cooler) But OC is so darn expensive to live in. We looked at houses down there (my husband works in El Segundo), But it's just too pricey for what we were looking for...Oh well... Oh and guess what, the seeds that you sent me have started to send out their first roots...I have them floating in water so I can see what's going on...And they are germinating...Yeah! Soon I'll need to transplant them into some pellets...These little buggers grow so fast! In regards to the meeting on August 6,2006, yes I'm going to be able to go. My husband is going to watch the baby for me, so I can head down there and be a part of it :) That way I can also meet some of the people on here as well (like you!) What time does the meeting start? Do you happen to know how long it usually is, and where I can get directions? It's in Huntington Beach, right? And that way I can get Karen her long anticipated Celadine :) Thanks again Bill! You're a really nice guy, you know that? :)
