First Time Flowers..

.
After waiting three years for this so call white frangipani with dark pink edge to flower I was kind of disapointed when it finally opened to find its just a white with a small yellow centre though it is a white not like some that are cream.. Its supposed to look like this. http://www.plumeria101.com/master_gallery/jl_pink_pansy/j_jl_pink_pansy01a.jpg strange that it has pink on the bud and no pink even under the petal.. Its supposed to have a 7.5 cm wide flower and its just normal size, although the leaves, branches and trunk are twice the size of normal Frangipani

JL Pink Pansy.



A cutting from Cheryl's Zygocactus a couple of flowers have opened..

Pretty colour zygo.

It's only the first time that frangi has flowered so not unusual for the flower not to be full colour or smaller.

Still a disappointment all the same as it flowers so late in the cool season I am surprised that those buds even opened at all and I have to get up on a ladder to take a pic, certainly not like your usual frangipani.

Yes Cheryl's Zygocactus was a bit of a surprise I thought it was more like the one you have, could be that it was kind of dark when I took the photo a couple of minutes before we had had heavy shower on Friday..

I also have a darker zygo similar to yours but no sign of flowers on it this year, same with the white Those ones haven't grown much either... I'm hoping they are just late.

My white one is full of buds also, strange though I notice they have pink on them and they used to be a pure white flowers..

Cool MA, glad it has flowered for you, sorry about your frangi though

Stunning photos, MA. The Zygo is a lovely colour..mine are not very happy, too much rain.

Thanks Cheryl... As Gail said first time flowers are never the same.
Maybe next Winter it will flower better seeing its a slow one

Thanks Fay, I am having that same problem with the Bougainvillea too much water heaps of canes and no flowers at all such a shame to be pruning them now but its like a jungle out there between them and the Hibiscus.

Mary-Anne I can understand your disappointment when the frangi didn't have the pink colouring.
The link one is very pretty.

Yes Thanks Marlene its certainly different to the ones you usually see..
