Progress on Plumeria #2, Plumeria #1
photo and gardening by Adrian Tenney
“The Plumeria is a flower used a lot in Balinese decorations/offerings. The traditional Legong headress uses them, and there was a giant Plumeria tree outside my hotel balcony in Ubud. Ever since then I’ve wanted to grow one. It’s a succulent too! So when (my friend) Jade brought me this cutting from her grandparents’ tree I was able to replant it. I have a feeling they are sensitive plants because most of the ones I see around are not exactly thriving, so I’m pretty excited that this one is happy right now.”- Adrian
