These are cuttings from the branches of tropical trees.beautiful flowers that last for a long time.I got rooted cuttings from Doug at Maui plumeria gardens.They are easy to grow in warmer climates but we got them to bloom here in NY. Here is pictures of Royal Hawaiian and Moragne 23 that bloomed for the first time this year..Good luck

They are beautiful. I like that untwisting bloom.

newnan man,,outstanding,,thanks for stopping and for the privilege of your time sharing such beauty,,up here in NY I can’t put them in the yard as the deer would wipe them out,and the warm season just isn’t long enough,maybe I should fence one in next year and try it,,we’ve had these for plus minus five years only to have them bloom for the first time this year with the yellow moragne23 just a couple days ago,If you have any growing tips I would appreciate hearing from you ,thanks again and stay safe

Hey billb, Here in Florida they are easy to grow. Most varieties do well in pots, so you could bring them inside when cold weather hits. I have 7 different types all having beautiful flowers. 3 trees in my back yard are higher than my house. They do drop leaves!
