My Smaller Plumeria Cutting Blooms Pink Flowers! (4-19-16) Collage #1

My smaller plumeria cutting blooms beautiful pink flowers! So pretty... Usually, we would have to cut off the flower stalks (inflos) when starting new plumeria cuttings so they can grow roots but I couldn't resist. At least I know now what color this plumeria is...

 

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.
