This is what a plumeria plant looks like when its much older. Karen and I bought one of these when we first went to Hawaii but then let my in-laws take care of it for a while where it had the treat of being thrown into the trash can only to be later saved by my father-in-law. Over the three year period we had it, it did bud a few flowers, but only my father in law was able to see them. Karen and I never did. So when we finally got it back, it ended up dying because Utah is way too dry, too hot, and our cat broke a couple limbs by trying to climb it. Darned cat. You'll be glad to know we bought two more in the airport on our way back home and have already planted them in our back yard. In one more year, they'll have leaves, and in two more years, they'll have flowers. lol. I found out today that they sell these WITH leaves at walmart for 2 dollar cheaper than we bought them in the airport in Hawaii. Oh well. ; )
