Wow, my plumeria cuttings were continuing to thrive well! Even the larger cutting was now also putting out a flower stalk/inflo!
I planted my plumeria cuttings back in January 7 of this year... Plumerias are tropical trees and are famous for their gorgeous 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 colder months. Other common names are frangipani and Hawaiian lei flower. 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! The 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.

It has tropical trees and buildings with a distinct architectural style like this one. Also, the immigration officials use Spanish and English interchangeably. I sometimes think of it as a great Latin American city. :-)
At street level is the China Grill restaurant. I've tried the one in Chicago. The website claims they serve Asian inspired food but apart from serving very fancy food, there was little that reminded me of Chinese food. Maybe the one in Miami, which looks fancy too, is different. :-)
Wow, my smaller plumeria cutting was officially blooming! It was also enjoying the brief warmth afternoon sun while I was taking pics of it lol. I'm one happy plumeria owner at this point! Looks like the flowers were going to be pink!

At this point, my smaller cutting was now clearly blooming. I can even see some pinkish color to the flower buds. Yup, this smaller cutting is a pink plumeria! Time to give it fertilizer (high in phosphorus)... Of course, my larger cutting at this point was also growing a decent inflo, or flower stalk!

The Manila American Cemetery and Memorial in the Philippines occupies 152 acres on a prominent plateau, visible at a distance from the east, south and west. It contains the largest number of graves of our military dead of World War II, a total of 17,202, most of whom lost their lives in operations in New Guinea and the Philippines. The headstones are aligned in 11 plots forming a generally circular pattern, set among masses of a wide variety of tropical trees and shrubbery.
John Silva conducted an excellent historical tour of the memorial to the 17,206 American and Filipino (and other nationalities) fallen heroes from World War II. An additional 36,000 names are inscribed on the hemicycle walls, representing those whose remains were never recovered.
This tropical tree is native to South Florida. Also called a West Indian Birch or tourist tree, it is approx. 70 yrs old. At DeSoto National Memorial.
One of the nicest blooming tropical trees around. The trees are typically covered with pretty flowers.
A person standing at the base is less than 0.7 cm, Amazon Rainforest, Peru, South America
*found in various parts of the Amazon. It is one of those beautiful giants of the Amazon, grand, imposing, and well rooted in the jungle’s soil. Its trunk can be as wide as 10 meters (33 ft) when given the time to grow. The lupuna distinguishes itself from other tropical trees because of its “belly”, a part of the trunk that is wider than the rest and bears some resemblance to a human abdomen.
And it has another characteristic: its spirit is also widely known to be a protector of the rainforest. Unfortunately, it is not entirely safe from deforestation but local loggers and lumberjacks are very careful about which lupuna to cut down, because if they choose the wrong species, the tree will take revenge…
The rambutan (pronounced /ræmˈbuːtən/; taxonomic name: Nephelium lappaceum) is a medium-sized tropical tree in the family Sapindaceae, and the fruit of this tree. It is native to Malaysia, Indonesia, The Philippines, Sri Lanka and elsewhere in Southeast Asia, although its precise natural distribution is unknown. It is closely related to several other edible tropical fruits including the Lychee, Longan, and Mamoncillo. It is believed to be native to the Malay Archipelago,[3] from where it spread westwards to Thailand, Burma, Sri Lanka and India; eastwards to Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia.[4] The name rambutan is derived from the Malay word rambut, which literally means hairy caused by the 'hair' that covers this fruit, and is in general use in Malay and Filipino.(Wikipedia)

Tropical trees like mahogany and sapele experience little temperature variation during the year, so their rings are of more constant width and color than a temperate tree's, like ash. This is dramatically evident when they're side-by-side, as here.
This tropical tree with red flowers was at our hotel entrance. Plumeria rubra is a deciduous plant, Red Frangipani is the common name.

My beautiful, thriving plumeria cuttings are enjoying a south-facing window in my bedroom. The leaves of the larger cutting were quite large now! I am also seeing tiny flower stalks, or inflos, starting to grow from the top of each cutting! I wonder what colors the flowers are going to be...
