Today I am joining Jean at Ms Green Thumb Jean's Blog for Bloomin' Tuesday.
It has been so hot here lately that my garden is really suffering. The last couple days it has been around 110. Very hot!
I thought I would show you my Plumeria flowers. They seem to be doing really well in this heat! These are the Hawaiian flowers that you make a Lei out of! I have 6 plants in my garden. They are very hard to grow!
These are my yellow Plumeria flowers. I also have pink and white ones!
Have you ever tried to make a Hawaiian Lei? It is really easy. It takes around 50 Plumeria Blossoms to make a 40" lei. Pick them and spray them with water to keep them fresh. Take a large stainless steel needle with fishing line or strong thread and thread it through the center of each flower. After you have all the flowers on the string tie the end! That is it! It is very easy and they not only smell so good but they make a great gift for someone to wear on a special day!

It is such a pretty flower!
Those are gorgeous, Miss Ann!
I'll bet they would make a beautiful lei!
The plumeria are stunning! I'll bet they smell good too.
I love plumeria -- so beautiful and so fragrant. I wish I had it in my yard!
What a lovely plant! Thanks for the info too. Jean
I can almost smell them! Pretty, pretty!

I love the smell of plumeria! That is amazing that you can grow them in southern California. You have a green thumb for sure. Mimi
Hello Annie!! If you live in Corona, on a bit of land, you could very well live near me. I am off Chase. Thanks for coming by to say hello to Simplify. I shall be back here as well!
