So this is how it goes.
I've purchased [and expected] one-hundred seeds but ended up with 243 seeds [thanks to the seller's generosity].
I planted 'Batch #1' on Tuesday, September 14, 2010 and many sprouted on September 26
'Batch #2' on Tuesday, September 21, 2010 and surprisingly one started sprouting along with the first batch on September 26. ( I do not know if putting it into the greenhouse helped but I just grew 'Batch #1' by the window for the first week and placed all of them into the greenhouse the next )
They are all growing in a self-greenhouse in "Miracle Grow - Cactus Mix" soil

In the beginning.
So I've found my way into the toxic-and-expensive grasp of the plurmerias, after few years of gardening and totally ignoring plumerias ( mainly because they're way too expensive. ) I've caught the plumeria fever.
After acquiring ten plumeria cuttings, I thought to myself "Why don't I just plant them from seeds instead of hunting 'the-best' ones.
( Plumerias, like many plants, don't grow true to their parent plants- just like how we don't grow to be exact copies of our parents. )
So starts this journey.
