Best Island source for plumaria plants?

[tada]

In Kona you can chop off plumeria branches leave them for dead but they don't die just continue blooming sweet smelling flowers lying on the ground. In Hilo I chopped down an albezia and same thing green branchlets started budding out of the trunk like that guy in Halloween. Though I figure the way to get the job done finish them off is take them upcountry to the rarified air so they die of exposure I think?
