PLUMERIA WORKSHOP - Saturday August 4, 2007 - Southwest Houston, Texas
We will be hosting our 11th annual
Plumeria Workshop in our yard on Saturday August 4, 2007.
It will last most of the day. It is a chance for Plumeria enthusiast with many different
experiences to get together and swap stories and experiences. This is a chance to have technical

Seeds and Soils. Watering and wintering. Fertilizers and pest control. Come to share or come to learn.
All are welcome from those who are just interested
in Plumeria to those with years of experience. If you are interested in attending
please send us an email. About two weeks before the workshop we will email details to all who show
an interest. Come by and visit for a few minutes or stay all day.
Note: We have been asked about doing a spring workshop this year (2007). We will have no time this year to do a spring workshop.
We are in charge of the 2007 Frangifest II in Singapore and Bali (see Below) and so will take up all our time.
Frangifest 2007 will be held in Singapore and
Bali, Indonesia from March 24th through April 1, 2007.
This is the second Frangifest, the first was held on the Gold Coast of Australia, just South of Brisbane and was organized
by the Frangipani Society of Australia. Frangifest 2007 is being organized by us, the Virtual International Plumeria Society.
You don't have to be an expert on Plumerias to participate. EVERYONE is invited to attend Frangifest 2007.

I have built a Plumeria winter greenhouse for years. It is has become complicated lately because of certain
building restrictions. I will keep you informed of my progress, if any. For pictures of
earlier greenhouses go to >>Visit the Green House -RICK-

A great place to chat about anything Plumeria
Or try one of these Yahoo Chat groups:
Plumeria Pals
"A mini social group for some gentle souls to talk about their passion: Plumeria, frangipani, West Indian Jasmine...
Come talk about the flower of the future, the most incredible plant there is!"
Plumeria
"Aloha!. Come and enjoy the beautiful Plumeria, queen of tropical flowers...
The Plumeria List is the first and more numerous Plumeria Group at Yahoo! Groups."
Florida Plumeris Society
"For the serious and hobbyist collectors of the world's most beautiful blossoms -- Plumeria! Frangipani!"
If you know of any other good chat places, let me know and I will post it here.
Here is my offering to get things started
NWA
Here is a very nice Plumeria Site in French. Unfortunately it is a
tripod site so the Altavisa translator takes a dive when you try to translate
the page as a URL. However, follow these instructions and you can get anything
you want translated. The Plumeria site location is
http://membres.lycos.fr/plumeria/
If you need translation to English, use your cursor to highlight the part you
want translated and "copy" it. Then go to
http://babelfish.altavista.com/"paste"
the french part into the translation window and then select "French to English"
or....French to some other language if English is a problem for you. Then click
the translate button. Vola!
