Did you know that P. pudica roots just as easily as rubra? I once had 12 "Bridal Bouquets" in my garden, as they were so easy to root from cuttings. Then the frost did most of them in. I do like the rubras better, though, as the scent is heavenly....Floridagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16357453320897720393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8867788905122040228.post-82328972228002805212010-09-26T22:40:22.418-04:002010-09-26T22:40:22.418-04:00Great post!

While my family lives so far away from me, I do feel the closeness thinking they can look the same moon from the other side of the globe.<br /><br />The first flower is dragon wing begonia flowers. It blooms in cluster and dropping from the leaves. I just love it!!!Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07744078497819915126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8867788905122040228.post-53906749452763245632010-09-24T12:26:08.971-04:002010-09-24T12:26:08.971-04:00Sandune:

It is a quick grower and blooming very often.<br /><br />Do you notice there are two kinds of plumerias in my post? The first one is plumeria pudica picture, and the second one is Plumeria rubra. The rubra I started as cutting, and I am so glad that it finally blooms.Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07744078497819915126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8867788905122040228.post-42658003217369522852010-09-24T12:18:32.422-04:002010-09-24T12:18:32.422-04:00NanaK: Glad that you noticed the moon that mornin...NanaK: Glad that you noticed the moon that morning.

And yes, when I look at the moon, I too have asked myself if people who are separated by vast distances can look at the same moon and feel the closeness of their loved ones on this day. <br /><br />Your lovely flowers are perfect for the season.
