After spending a week over on Moloka'i recently, I'm not sure if there is a "good source" for plumeria anywhere on this island, even if it is free. I was absolutely amazed at how beautiful every plumeria we saw on Moloka'i was. They all had a lot of foliage as well as flowers on them. None looked like the scrawny bare, rat tails with a few leaves and flowers on the tips of those rat tails like those seen everywhere around here.
Why are the plumerias over there so different from the ones here?
They enjoy a drier climate like Kona or Molokai, east side BI not so much.

We had plumerias in pots on our lot for a couple of years. Not sure if they bloomed since we aren't there all the time, but they were alive.
On one of our visits we planted them in the ground. They died immediately. Of course, there's a million reasons why they could have died but I found it interesting that they lived in pots for years with absolutely no care whatsoever.
Could it be that they were "drier" in the pots?
