I am looking for cuttings or seeds from different colored Desert Rose plants. I see them in yards all over the island and was hoping someone would like to share. Also would take any cuttings from hibiscus. All I have to trade at the moment is cuttings from my two plumeria. One is white with yellow centers, the other is pale pink with yellow centers. These are already rooting in pots and have new growth. Trying to liven up my dull yard. Thank you. PM me for fastest response.

From what we've seen, it appears most desert roses on stx came form the same plant. We've not seen a variety of colors...

I have seen about 4 colors while driving around. Seeds will not reproduce the parent plant exactly, so every seed has the potential to be a little different. Then, if you have multiple colors in your yard, cross pollination will produce a whole new generation of colors.

What island? I have only seen the pink and a dark red color for the Desert Rose.

STX I was looking at house for 2 years, so I have been on just about every road in every neighborhood from mid-island west. lol Can not remember where I saw the black and red one... Carlton somewhere I think. I have seen white, white with pink edge, white with red edge, solid red, dark pink with white stripes. Have to really peek into yards on the way by. lol I am always scoping out plants. 😀
