My Beautiful Plumeria Plant Continues To Thrive And Bloom! (4-29-16) Photo #6

Wow, beautiful yellowish flowers have bloomed on my larger plumeria plant (former cutting). Gotta love the fragrance... Since this plumeria has yellowish flowers, I think this is a celadine plumeria, aka Hawaiian Yellow. There's actually other yellow varieties but with the help from a few people\online research, this plumeria (cutting) I got falls mostly on the Hawaiian Yellow type.

 

Plumerias are tropical trees and are famous for their beautiful flowers which are used to make leis (flower garlands). In regions with cold winters, plumerias can be grown in containers and brought indoors during the winter months. Plumerias have thick stems, leathery leaves, and an abundance of flowers from early summer until fall. In the tropics, some varieties can grow to a height of over 30 feet! Plumeria's waxy, 2-4-inch flowers are very fragrant. Flower colors include pink, red, white, and yellow. Plumerias are commonly planted in containers and make excellent cut flowers. I planted my plumeria cuttings back in January 7, 2016.
