Plumeria in NoVa or Maryland?
Comments (6)Heh... I don't live in VA... but I'm sure that if I can grow Plumi's on my deck during the summer (Michigan), well, you can do it there. Here is a link that might be useful: Tommys Summer Garden in Michigan...See MoreFirst Blooms of the Summer....In Va. Beach, Va.
Comments (4)Hello Everyone, Thanks for the comments on my first blooms of the season!!! Dpolson...Thanks again for the DR. Did you see it in the last picture? I need to send you more of the cannas & EE's (the ginger is also sprouting) I know what you mean as far as space is concerned. My house is empty during the school season, but this week my daughter is home from Fort Bragg (Her hubby is over in Agft.) My son is home from VT. So the house is alive again with everyone around!!! Love the photo of your littleone!!! TZ7....My Noid has been a great Plumeria! This is the second year it has bloomed for me and I am very pleased with it as well!! My little dog loves all of the scents that are in my backyard..she is enjoying the gardenias more than anything. The first thing in the morning she has to go and smell the flowers. (Never seen anything like her!!!) My Plumerias have been really growing quite fast in the last 2 weeks. I repotted some of the little ones and used that new potting mix with guano (Hydroponics store) and mixed with cactus mix, perlite and lava stones. They have really responed to the change in soil!!! Good Luck with your plants...please keep your great pictures coming!!! (can't wait for your Divine to bloom!!) Dave...How are you doing up North? How are your trees? I doubled up on the large pots on my deck...and I will look for larger pots to set them in (with the mulch around them) that sounds like a great idea!! Thank you for that!! I love that pink plumeria and yes it is a keeper!! I think that I have enough trees now (Yea right!! LOL !!) The toilet paper rolls are a new trend in the Plumeria world!! Tree decorations!!! LOL !! They look great don't they? LOL!!! My kids thought I was losing it when I started collecting them along with paper towel rolls...I use them for the stem burn. The sun gets so hot in the back deck area and around the pool that it was burning some of the new stem cuttings. It helps protect the stems that need it until the leaves can grow to protect on it's own. They really work well!!! (Thanks to Bill for the suggestion!!!) Hope all is well with you and your family!!! I would be more than willing to help out if you need a place to help with your Pindo!! : ) Take care everyone!!

Comments (0)Does anyone have experience with these honeysuckles: 'Scentsation', 'Major Wheeler' or 'Magnifica'? I'm hoping to find a reliably blooming, non-invasive honeysuckle for a sunny Reston, VA garden. Fragrance would be a big plus, but not a deal breaker. I tried 'John Clayton' a few years ago with disappointing results....See MorePlumerias in Northern VA
Comments (8)dupefl: Not sure when I can get to that. It's maybe 4 or 5 years old from cutting. Can't recall exactly. It's getting quite large. Initially when it started from a cutting, it grew not too compactly. But after it started to bloom, it assumed the more typical compact form with short internodes between blooms. If that helps. It's about 5 feet high. Parts of it have broken off in storms. I have another small one started. And even though it has about 5 growing tips, none have bloomed yet. For some reason I'm unable to edit my initial post....See MoreChris Harkey
