Plumeria from Cutting - photo 2

As I promised, here's another photo of my Plumeria that started as a cutting. It's really pushing out some nice leaves now!

Bonsai Jacaranda in Bloom

My Jacaranda bonsai is blooming after 8 years! I got the seeds from the fallen seed pods off the Jacaranda trees on 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica, CA almost a decade ago, and I've been nursing these puppies for so long without blooms I had almost given up. I knew it could take a long time for a Jacaranda to bloom, and finally no more waiting.
More photos to come...

Olea europa Flora

I never noticed olive tree flowers being so beautiful. Look at this group of olive blossoms floating in a stone fountain and it will change your mind like it did mine.

Cornus capitata 'Mountain Moon'

These Cornus capitata 'Mountain Moon', Evergreen Dogwood, planted in a big drift look natural and still have a big flowery punch. Rustic beauty!

Growing Plumeria from Cuttings

Plumeria, the tree that the Hawaiian lei flower comes from, can be grown from a 'cutting'.

All you have to do is gently break off about 8" from a branch tip and place it in a well drained pot. Water the Plumeria a tiny bit every 2 days and make sure it has partial to full sun. They can't take the cold!

The image is of a pink Plumeria I started from a cutting about 2 months ago and it pushing through its first leaf. I'm excited!

I'll post more photos as it grows so you can see the progress.

Malus sp 'Snow Flake'

This is such a simple, beautiful apple tree. I love having some blooms before Spring! What an anxious little puppy.

Variagated tree

It's not usual to see a variated tree of this size. This is a variagated tulip tree, tulipifera I believe. They have nice large blooms, but they get the name from the tulip shaped leaf. I'm not sure if this photo is going to show up well, but this one is close to 30' tall, still in the box.
