Back in the spring, Margaret purchased a plumeria cane, planted it as directed, surrounded it by flowering annuals to fill out the pot, and set it on our balcony, which gets as close to full sun as any growing spot we have. For weeks, then months, the cane just stood there, not even growing the tiny leaf buds that it had come with. Was it alive or dead? We had no idea. Then, a couple of weeks ago it developed a proboscis-like growth on the top of the plant, followed by tiny flower buds. Yes, it lived and it intended to flower! Now, a few of the sweet smelling blossoms have opened. The under-planted annuals have already given up for the season. We just hope that the rest of the buds mature and open before the weather turns too cold for this tropical beauty!
