Plumeria aka Frangipani

Here are few pictures of my Plumerias! I have no idea what varieties I have I have captions with the research I've done but if you know please feel free to correct me! I'd love to know for sure what I have!

Since I do not know the cultivator of any of my plumeria they are called NOID. for No Id I have read. Doesn't stop them from being lovely.

This is actually two trees. the one on the right is pictured above. The one on the left is pictured below. 

This is the front and back of the same flower. This one smells the best of all the ones we have fills nearly our entire lot with its sweet smell. 


This is the same tree as the flower pictured above.

Banana Trees Ocean View HI


I have banana trees! I've never lived anywhere before where I could grow banana trees!We bought two varieties from our local farmers market. Cuban (red shells) and Apple (small taste like an apple banana combo).

Here is what I have been doing, Watering heavily once a week and fertilizing once a month. When I first planted them I watered them heavily every few days. And they did not like it at all!

Here are some pictures of my Banana trees from planting to current!
