SHADY BEGINNINGS...

 |
These seedlings came about through a bulk import from Thailand. Isn't it strange that seeds grow at different rates, despite being germinated and grown in exactly the same conditions?

Spreading the word.....
 |
One of the really good things about being a member of the Frangipani Society of Australia is that you have access to fresh frangipani seeds from around the world, at minimal cost, as well as a constant supply of free ones, donated by members. Our official web site is www.frangipani.org.au containing areas accessible to everyone, as well as members-only sections. For general frangipani advice please feel free to email our daily email secretary on frangipanisocietyofaustralia@hotmail.com.

WORLD REGISTRATION?
Creating your own new varieties can be quite exciting, especially when you have a really superb one that starts to bloom. To know you own something entirely unique, which grows nowhere else in the world but in your own garden is quite a buzz. The Plumeria Society of America have a great website, so you can see what's already registered. The steps towards world registration are clearly explained, and the bottom line is that if you are successful, your brand new cultivar will bear the name you give it, forever more!

Karen Mallard
This new cultivar, grown from a Kimi Moragne seed from the USA is being also being submitted for World Registration this year, in memory of my friend Karen Mallard, who passed away last year. Her mum Elvie and father Gavin were delighted to give permission for me to do this, and I will be rooting many pieces for her family and extended family, if this special registration is accepted. This particular tree is a fast grower, a great podder, flowers for many, many months, and has a carnation-like perfume.
