Plumeria Aka Lila Wadee

[T_Dog]

One of the heartiest plants in Thailand and one certainly worthy of its own photography thread. This is a plant that you can cut off at ground level and stick into the dirt and it will likely grow. We planted the India variety ten days ago and it already bloomed. The other two were planted less than 9 months ago. The life force is strong in Thailand. Would love to see more photographs of this flower.

Thats Frangipani to the uninitiated...

often seen in temples...considered bad luck to grow at home by the Thais...

How about the whole tree?

Nice photos! These trees seem to bloom frequently, and even without flowers, their symmetry is very pleasing to look at.

Also called Frangipani !!! ....

this photo is more typical of the plant, the leaves show the parasite unique to this plant, which makes every leaf on the tree fall off. I have three in my garden in bangkok, and more often than not they are leafless

"Rust" is the scourge of plumeria. They are messy enough without this speeding up the leaf and flower spitting process. But, they are beautiful, while they last.

From T Dogs first post and picture! I did not know this was a Plumeria ... I have one but never knew what it was! .... I like the pure white of the flower!

The one in my photo seems to have different colors at different times. Sometimes pink/orange sometimes white and sometimes more reddish.

Yes, I think you posted that before, some where, perhaps under flowers ?

One of my neighbours has the same, type.... I did take pictures with progress, but they are all over the place, in different folders .... one day will try to get them together

I have run out of likes for today... great images from Curt!

We got that plant as a gift two weeks ago, stuck it in the ground, and it bloomed. We were told it was an Indian Plumeria but I suppose it could be a completely different plant. Note the leaves are a bit different and it is quite lovely. Perhaps someone can set me straight on what it really is.

I bought one a few years back and planted it off in the back yard. Something unfortunate happened in our home and my wife was convinced it was due to the plant. I chopped it down......not that I believe in that sort of stuff, but whatever makes the wife happy.

one photo of the one that changes colour.... will try find the others!

I have been paying a bit more notice of the flower differences lately!

This one has a bit more of a "yolk"

Here's a nice yellow!
