It would be beautiful and smell very nice as well......

The other added bonus of Frangipani .....the smells vary with each color/plant....

Lot's of cuttings ......

Me too.

With roses, so many of the really pretty ones visually (in my opinion atleast they are pretty) fail to have a good fragrance, while the more plain Jane ones seem to have the awesome smells as a rule. Are these the same way?

J' ....you are somewhat correct....although with Plumies the scents vary much more than Roses. There are floral type scents , along with spicy type and of course the fruity versions. I will tell you that some of the more "brilliant" colored ones are much harder to root. I have one plumie I have grown from seed ...10 years later it only stands about 2 feet tall ......and one of the rarest one out there ..

Beautiful name, beautiful flower! Where are you from that you get all these beautiful flowers going! I can't wait for Summer to start growing more again..

 

[N2TORTS]

In So. Cal.......and have been collecting , plumies for many years from around the globe. Contrary to belief that they are from Hawaii ....which they are not . They grow there yes ....but not a native species.

 

[Tyanna]

So very jealous! I'm in WI...not going to happen here LOL.

As usual everything you post is so beautiful. I found this plant, which was much smaller, at a yard sale for $.50. It grew like crazy last Summer and this Summer when I put if out it bloomed. I had no idea. I would love to know what it is....any idea.

 

[N2TORTS]

Terry ......that is an Epiphyllum.....My Grand ma and Grand Pa ..were very well known members of that society here in CA , Grandma even created her own hybrid and has the flower named after her.

50 cents well spent Terry!

 

[terryo]

Yes! 50 cents. I bought it because it was so different. I made some cuttings for my sister and her's finally bloomed this Summer too, only her's came in red. Isn't that crazy? I also gave some cuttings to the priest in my church and his hasn't bloomed yet. Thank you Jeff. I am going to send those site's along to my sister. That is wonderful. Imagine having a plant named after you.
