With tender loving care
my slice of paradise
thrives and blooms,
right here at home.

Last March, I brought back some plumeria tree cuttings from Maui, Hawaii. I was hoping that I would be able to root them this time. When I brought back a few cuttings before, they did not grow at all. Not only did the cuttings root this time around, but they also developed beautiful dark green leaves. When I got up Friday morning, the first blossoms had opened and filled the kitchen with a heavenly fragrance!

Congrats on both the green thumb and the photo/poetry skills to share the results.

Beautiful. We bought a plumeria every time we were in Hawaii, but this is the first time it is actually growing. Hopefully we’ll see some blossoms some day…

  Cool! It took 4 months for the flowers. I had the cuttings in water until I planted them in pots a few days ago. What color is yours?

I love these!!!! The photos, words and flowers, all of it. Did you bring them back in your hand luggage or hold luggage?

  I love them too! I bought several this time and put them in my carry-on suitcase. The cuttings are fairly small and packaged in a plastic. I got a couple of extras for friends so they too can have a slice of paradise! They are simply beautiful, and I stop and smell them throughout the day.
  Thanks for always reading and commenting, Snow! 😊

Did you know Frangipanis are easily grown from cuttings? I have a post about it on my blog about one growing indoors in the UK which you might find interesting: http://wp.me/p8wGFJ-5L

  Hey there, I’ll have to check it out. Last year I brought back a few cuttings from Hawaii. They are doing well, and one of them actually flowered. Thanks for stopping by and commenting! 😊
