Adeniums & Plumeria


I'm stuck inside staring out at 30 inches of snow. Although beautiful, I will be glad when it's all melted. The time inside has given me moments to prune my 3 year old adenium (desert rose) and mist the plumerias though. I'm hoping to wake them up early and get a jump start on summer blooming. You can see the tips are still pretty tight and not showing much growth. This one is in a south facing window and has looked like this since last fall. I have other cuttings that I've kept in the basement and they are showing signs of life. One that I am trying to root is actually putting out an inflo. Since I have a few cuttings to play with I am letting it attempt to flower even though I doubt there are any roots. It may not last, but at least I'll get some great smelling blooms out of it.
