My beautiful plumeria plants growing nice now! The leaves are so green and lush at this point! These were originally cuttings that were from Hawaii. I told my cousin to get a couple while she was there on vacation not long ago. I was watering them at this time. I might have to put water soluble fertilizer on the next watering sesh. Grow my beautiful plumies, grow!
More about Plumerias:
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 are grown in containers and brought indoors to avoid frost/freeze damage. 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. I planted my plumeria cuttings back in January 7, 2016. They were already well over a year old and still going strong!

Amherstia nobilis (Burmese: သော်ကကြီး [θɔ̀ka̰ dʑí) ... the Pride of Burma, is a tropical tree in the family Fabaceae.
It is the only member of the genus Amherstia.
It is widely cultivated as an ornamental in the humid tropics, but is very rare in the wild and has only been collected from its native habitat a few times. It is native to Burma (Myanmar), hence the common name. The scientific name commemorates Lady Amherst, and also her daughter Sarah.
Lady Sarah Amherst (1762–1838) was a British naturalist and botanist who lived in India. She identified several species which were named after her, including a species of pheasant (Chrysolophus amherstiae) and a flowering tree (Amherstia nobilis).
Lady Sarah Elizabeth Hay-Williams (née Amherst) (1801 – 1876) was an English artist and botanical illustrator. She was born to Sarah Amherst and William Amherst, 1st Earl Amherst. She travelled with her parents to India and while there completed several watercolour paintings now held in the collection of the British Library.
The leguminous tree Amherstia nobilis is named by Danish botanist Nathaniel Wallich in honour of her and her mother Lady Sarah Amherst.
Pure holidayparadise! Warm blue seas, warm weather and some tropical trees above the beach. My sister and I sure have enjoyed it.
This was the view from my bed out the sliding doors that opened on the island. I didn't have a particularly stunning view since the cabin was set well back in the tropical trees, but for some reason I found the way the light played against the curtains strangely compelling.
So - we got these new shorter barrel AR-15s along with new dual racks to secure them with. At some point rack #2 is supposed to hold a Less Lethal Shotgun...so until then, "Shotgun Tropical Tree Frog Red" will have to do!
My larger plumeria cutting is so lush with leaves, along with a flower stalk now. Almost time for it to bloom!
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. At this point, I think my larger plumeria cutting was going to have golden or yellow flowers!

Chrysophyllum cainito is a tropical tree of the family Sapotaceae. It is native to the Greater Antilles and the West Indies. In Jamaica it is known locally as "Star Apple".
Parish Church. The parish church is located in OS Grid Square SW8435 and was dedicated to St Just. The church was dedicated on 14th August 1261. It comprises a chancel, nave, south aisle, and a short north aisle, a portion of which was used as a vestry. The arcade has seven obtuse arches of granite supported on monolith pillars of the same material. There is a south porch, the entrance arch of which is paneled, a vestry door and a priest's door. The tower, which is of two stages, is buttressed at the angles, and embattled, having a the corners stump pinnacles. It contains three bells. There are north and south entrances to the churchyard through Lych gates. The church is probably the most beautiful in Cornwall; it overlooks water and is surrounded by palm trees and other exotic tropical trees and flowers.
The Manila American Cemetery and Memorial is located in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City in Metro Manila, Philippines.
The cemetery, 152 acres (0.62 km2) or 615,000 square metres in area, is located on a prominent plateau, visible at a distance from the east, south and west. With a total of 17,206 graves, it is the largest cemetery in the Pacific for U.S. personnel killed during World War II, and also holds war dead from the Philippines and other allied nations. Many of the personnel whose remains are interred or represented were killed in New Guinea, or during the Battle of the Philippines (1941-42) or the Allied recapture of the islands. The headstones are made of marble which are aligned in eleven plots forming a generally circular pattern, set among masses of a wide variety of tropical trees and shrubbery.
The chapel, a tall stone structure enriched with sculpture and mosaic, stands near the center of the cemetery. In front of it on a wide terrace are two large hemicycles with rooms at each end. Twenty-five large mosaic maps in these four rooms recall the achievements of the United States Armed Forces in the Pacific, China, India and Burma. On rectangular Trani limestone piers within the hemicycles are inscribed the names of 36,282 of the Missing who gave their lives in the service of America and who rest in unknown graves. Carved in the floors are the seals of the American states and its territories.
A view of the fish pond in the North Garden area of the Como conservatory in St. Paul, Minnesota. The North Garden is the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory’s living grocery, pharmacy and building supply store. Here you’ll find papaya, pomegranate, fig, mahogany and chocolate, along with many other plants that have a direct influence on human life. Because natural pollinators like bees and bats aren’t present here, some of these tropical trees must be pollinated by hand to coax them into producing fruit.

Erythrina herbacea
"Erythrina herbacea L.
Coralbean, Cherokee bean, Red cardinal
Fabaceae (Pea Family)
USDA Symbol: ERHE4
USDA Native Status: Native to U.S.
Coralbean is a low, glossy-leaved, thorny shrub to 6 ft. with many herbaceous, annual stems arising from the woody lower stem and perennial root. The long-petioled, leaflets are distinctively arrowhead-shaped. Leaves are alternate, scattered along the stem, 3 leaflets forming the leaf, which is often prickly beneath. The leaves are 3–5 inches long and 3 1/2–4 inches wide. Leaves fall in winter and before they reappear in spring, upright spikes of showy, tubular flowers adorn the bare branches. The scarlet-red flowers, 12 inches long in spike-like clusters, on the upper portion of the stem. There are 5 united sepals and 5 petals 1 1/2–2 inches long, with the upper petal wrapped around the other 4. These are followed by a persisent legume pod containing several bright red beans. The pod is blackish, constricted between the seeds, and up to 8 1/2 inches long. The seeds are firmly attached to the pod by a sturdy 1/8-inch-long thread and will remain in place for months.
This unusual tropical tree extends its range northward as a shrub or perennial herb, but is killed back to the ground each winter. Planted for the showy flowers and seeds, although the brittle branches are subject to damage by windstorms. In Mexico, the toxic seeds have been used for poisoning rats and fish. Although novelties and necklaces can be made from the seeds, they should be kept away from children."
This tropical tree grows in the tropics, and has these cucumber like fruits. i do not think it is edible..

This week I am trying a mini project to improve my ability to take B&W images. The aim is to produce one image a day covering the themes of Line; Shape; Form; Texture: and Tone. Rather than just snap away and convert, the intention is to try and think about the image in advance and then set up the shot. To-day's exercise is * Texture *
This tropical tree trunk had an underlying smoothness with the peeling bark allowing some contrast in the texture. I waited unril the sun light started to glance across the trunk and thought the leaf shadow added something by allowing a gradual transition in light. Not sure this works too well..perhaps i needed more peling bark.

Beautifully situated by a quiet creek of the River Fal, in spectacular grounds planted with tropical trees and plants.
My larger plumeria cutting continues to grow lush and healthy! It also was growing a decent inflo with pinkish flower buds, too. I'm so excited! Certainly, my plumeria cuttings were enjoying my bedroom's sunny south-facing window. During nighttime, I leave a compact fluorescent light on for extra lighting.

The Botanical gardens are one of several parks, dotted along the string of lakes, which used to be the old fortifications. Run by the University of Copenhagen, it hosts Denmark's largest collection of living plants, including an impressive collection of Orchids. The signature palm house is a huge greenhouse, with large tropical trees, and a sky walk in the canopy
Beautiful yellow 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.

Yay, my plumeria cuttings seem to be thriving and showing some leaf growth! They must be enjoying the warm sun! This was at a south-facing window, in my bedroom. (Tuesday early evening, February 2, 2016)
Plumerias are tropical trees famous for their gorgeous flowers which are used to make leis (floral garlands). In regions with cold winters, plumerias can be grown in containers and brought indoors when the weather cools in autumn. Other common names are frangipani and Hawaiian lei flower.
Wow, my plumeria cuttings were continuing to thrive well! Even the larger cutting was now also putting out a flower stalk/inflo!

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!

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!

One of the nicest blooming tropical trees around. The trees are typically covered with pretty flowers.
Wow, my plumeria cuttings were thriving pretty well! The larger one was already leafed out pretty nicely. The leaves were already larger than my hand! I'm so happy!
