After a long cool winter, Frangipanis are finally flowering properly here, about a month late.

Have you planted all your collection at the front of the block now? It should look good by now.... I am still trying to find places for all of mine... where it is not going to be shaded by other trees. I have a few more to plant and I still want more :D . Hopeless I know.

Regards, Ari :)

Hi Patricia, I do intend to have them all planted in the ground. Unfortunately I still have about 60 varieties still in pots. I have about 50 growing in the ground, the largest are now tree size. Ari, I will get them all planted one of these days!

Is that different blue or the one from Darwin, Daryl? The monsoon rain has started here... so I don't think I would have any chance of plumeria anymore. I think it will be the growing season for them now. Although your pink one is flowering now. Hhmm.... I used to have Mermain gems, I wonder where I put it.. :unsure:

Regards, Ari :)

My plumerias are loosing ground to the palms. They will be relegated to pots soon. This is a good thing, as they are getting shaded out.

Hi Joe, I know what you mean. My intention is to plant most of my plumeria in the front yard because it is higher, drier, hotter and sunnier than the back yard. However it needs serious landscaping withretaining walls etc. So out of desperation I planted a quite a few plumeria out the back, amongst my palms and other trees. Needless to say they are all now totally shaded out and performing poorly. Time to move them out the front...but still no retaining walls!

Here's another couple of photos from today...

Just plant them anyway, Daryl.... with or without retaining wall... They are pretty tough anyway. You can always put retaining wall later on....

Ari, unfortunately no topsoil out front and plumeria don't like our clay/shale subsoil. I have a couple of small ones planted there and they haven't grown at all in 5 years!

Oh... do you have to bring soil in??? Now, that would be expensive and hard work.... We are pretty lucky that way. Plumeria loves our soil and weather (as long as it is not record wet season).
