The same thing goes for plumeria's....I watched a guy spend a whole day on a tree with a pair of scissors attached to a pole and he gradually cut off every dead flower!...amazing patience....


Taipan,
The "amazing patience" seems to me to be in the watching for all that time....

Mike,
Hugh and Martha Meehan ALWAYS have all their bougies blooming during sales at Wash. DC PBA show. Twice now I've asked how they do it in time. Both times I got the same answer....they wilt them!
