My plumeria is about to bloom!

A little over 2 years ago, while Jason was still working for Danielle Fence, one of his customers, who owns a plumeria business in this area, gave him a 6 inch clipping off of one of his plumeria plants. He gave us all the instructions on how to get it started, and this is what it looked like after about a month in the pot. The spiky arms coming out of the top are the leaves just beginning to form.


Last year, we had to move it to a bigger pot, because it was taking over. It seems to be very hearty. There were plenty of times that we thought for sure we had killed it, but it always came back strong. As of yet, we have not seen a flower...just lots of leaves. This past week, we checked on it, and this is what we found.


As you can see, those little "nodes" at the top are going to pop open soon with some beautiful flowers. We have no idea what color they are going to be. The man that gave the clipping to us said that he thought it was a white flower with yellow edging. He also said that when a plumeria plant forms a seed pod, you can plant those seeds and could get a completely different color flower than that of the "mother" plant. How cool is that? I'm so excited! I'll post a picture once they open up, because I know you're excited, too! =)
