My Plumeria Plant

Ever since I lived in Hawaii the plumeria has been one of my favorite flowers. Well, while in Hawaii this past May I purchased a couple of cuttings to plant here at home. This is a mature plumeria tree:

This is the plumeria flower. It comes in various colors. The yellow and white and the pink are my two favorites.
This is what mine looks like right now.
Pitiful, I know. But did you know that it will take a full year before my plant even has leaves? It will take 2 years to sprout any flowers. (I'm making a sad face.) Anyway, Logan helped me get everything ready and we planted them together tonight. He planted the pink one and I planted the yellow one. I'm sure by the time they sprout their flowers we will have mixed up which one is which. Who cares, as long as I don't kill them in the mean time.

that's a long time to keep a plant alive in my opinion!

Tell me about it. Let's just hope I have a little green in my thumb.
