View Full Version : My Hawaiian plant finally bloomed.
I had to share my picture of my plant.
I forgot the name of it. I think it is a Plumeria but
for the life of me I can not remember.
I have 2 plants that I brought back from
Hawaii, and so far this is the first plant to bloom
in over 3 years.

It's gorgeous, it hardly looks real! I love how bright the green is!
That absolutely is a plumeria. Congratulations - I have some friends who tried for years to get them to bloom and they wouldn't.
Yours are lovely and look so healthy.

Pretty plant, I'm glad it finally bloomed for you! :D
What a beautiful plant! I am so happy it is blooming for you. I think it might be a good idea to take another trip to Hawaii to get some more now that you know you have a green thumb. ;) I have heard of plumeria but only as the name of a fragrance at Bath and Body Works. :o

Thats a very pretty plant. I'm so glad that it bloomed for you. Good work, Karen.
I have allergies, but I could smell a nice scent.
I do not have a green thumb at all, but I
was told that you must use a phosphate food
on the Plumerias to bloom.
My other plant is not doing as well this year.
Sometype of bug must be attacking it?

It's very beautiful.:) I was going to ask if it had a fragrance,
but I understand now, it does.:) Does this get bigger, like a
bush or stay as a single plant? I'll have to check out the scent.:D

From what I have seen in Hawaii, they can grow as tall
as a small tree. They were only the size of a 9-10" stick
when I bought them in a package.
I grew mine in pots.
It will probably take years but I can't wait till they get to a bush size. One of the side shoots fell off.
So I just stuck it in another pot to grow.

Thanks for the info. It would make a beautiful addition to my
yard, if only it would survive the harsh Indiana winters.:)
