Here is one I took. One of my favorites.

That kind of looks like Waimanlo Beach.

As the guides on the Seattle Underground Tour like to mention, for a city that had virtually no garment industry Seattle in the late 1800's had an an inordinate number of single women who listed their occupation as "seamstress". I guess it's accurate in as much they apparently did quite a bit of work on linens.

You know those green sticks they sell in the Hawaiian airports? They really do grow into Plumeria! This one was about a year old when I took the photo - it bloomed from July to Dec. this last year. Now it has 3 branches and it's about 2.5 feet tall. I have a pink one started now.

Denise,
Aren't they just beautiful!? This is the Plumeria stick I grew for almost 15 years! Last winter we had a couple of below freezing nights and I lost it.
I'll plant another this Spring!

I really enjoy mine and they are fun to grow since the way they grow is quite unique. I live in northern CA where cold nights are the norm and I read that Plumeria can't stand temps under 40º so I bring mine in for the winter. They go dormant around December, and then I use a fertilizer recommended for encouraging blooming in the spring, and put them back outside.

So now I am definitely going to bring one home from the Hawaii airport! We are going to be there in Jan.

Thanks for the beautiful photo.

We've had a few storms this winter with heavy snow and wind; two of them included thunder and lightning which is beautiful in a weird nature sort of way. I took the dog walking out back last week and found some of the damage. It's amazing how powerful nature is.

Since that walk we've had melting with warmer temps and now we're back to freezing with another storm due this weekend. This cold/warm/cold stuff drives me bonkers - I want a sustained freeze so we can ice skate. Us people, I mean, not the dog! Bandit just slides.

Thank you for the tips. I love Plumeria plants. I have so many in my backyard. They don't do as well as I would like. The So Cal Santa Ana winds don't always help but I keep trying.
