Well ..I have a few plumeria cuttings... these will root and become flowering trees... they do have to be wintered inside .. they are the Hawaiian lei flower.. lovely fragerance.. andabeautiful flower... I've dozens of them .. some flowering almost all of the time..
I returned from the plumeria conference in Galveston a few days ago.. and hada few limbs knocked off..so I'm offering them for free ..for pick up.. here in Brooklyn..Carroll Gardens... the"F" train stops right on my block.. give them a try... you'll love them..Gordon

Cannot make it into Brooklyn in the near future. Wish I could. I had written to you via email on this site with a question about propagating the angel trumpet. Did you ever get that note?

Marci.. Isent a reply to thispost yesterday...direct... did you get it...
I'd asked where you were..andthat if wasin thecity ..I might be able to deliver..andonpropogating theangle trumpets...
Iputthem in a glass of water..perhaps a bit of super thrive if I'm able to change the water..and or a bit of seaweed concentrate.. [ maxicrop ] but usually just water... they sit there for a week or two.. till little white bumps form on the stalk.. [nubbins] these are to be roots... but I take the cutting out when they just form and put them into a small pot.. so it gets a chance to dryout between waterings... I make sure they stay mostly real wet for a few days.. as they have been in water...potting onearly..beforerealroots lets themdevvelop soil roots and doesn't disturb the tender water roots that would form if I left them in the water longer...
this should get the brugs going nicely...need some cuttings to try on??? got them also for visitors.. Gordon
