Aloha, we're Mike & Stacy Atkinson and we've been growing plumeria in San Diego's east county since 1997. Our passion turned into a farm to help others share in the joy that is plumerias. We offer classes, consultation services, and sales throughout the year.

I want to introduce you to my new friend, Jean ("as in blue jean," she said). While Jean has many challenges in her life, she was always smiling, soaking everything in, and kind.
When they came to the farm this morning for our lei-making class, she and her two loving sisters got out of the car, and I immediately brought them a flower from our Veracruz Rose tree. I handed it to her, and she wouldn't let go of it or even take it away from her nose. And then she said, "This reminds me of Mom." Her sisters said that their mother loved roses. (If you've smelled Veracruz Rose, you know why it brought back that memory.)
After the class, I gave her a fun, yet gentle, ride around the farm in the golf cart. She was smiling from ear to ear.
So, I thought I would pass along some of the beautiful mana from this amazing woman to you today. Breathe it in and allow it to live in you. We were blessed by her.

Goldmine plumeria is outstanding! Besides the unique burst coloration, the fragrance is exotic, sweet & spicy. This amazing cultivar comes from C Star Nursery in Long Beach.

We made lei for last week's Pacific Islander Festival Taste of the Pacific event.

Raspberry Sundae plumeria may take you to the islands but it's from Texas. A beauty with slight white veining with a yummy, sweet fragrance. #plumeria #plumerias #frangipani #frangipanis #atkinsonplumeria #atkinsonplumeriafarm #plumeriadaily #sandiegoplumeria #socalplumeria #plumeriaflower #plumeriaflowers #plumeriagrower #plumerialover #plumeriafarm #plumeriafarmer #raspberrysundaeplumeria
We've been trimming this for a few years for our friend. But as soon as you cut the branches, immediately within a couple weeks gets multiple new branches growing out of that stump. This is not a ground grower, it is a grow up and then grow down. Very strange. We only trim it now if it's in the sidewalk or the driveway. Otherwise, we're just letting it do its thing and enjoying the flowers...

The luscious, yummy Grapette plumeria. I think it smells like Grape Kool-Aid and Stacy thinks Grape Nehi (NVM, you're too young 😁). #plumeria #plumerias #frangipani #frangipanis #atkinsonplumeria #atkinsonplumeriafarm #plumeriadaily #sandiegoplumeria #socalplumeria #plumeriaflower #plumeriaflowers #plumeriagrower #plumerialover #plumeriafarm #plumeriafarmer #grapetteplumeria
My mana wahine, Stacy, made a spectacular Lei Pāpale (hat lei) yesterday, made mostly from the rich maroon flavors of Grapette and a small explosion of JL Pink Pansy in the front. Love my honey!! And yes, Grapette smells of grape. 😁 #plumeria #plumerias #frangipani #frangipanis #atkinsonplumeria #atkinsonplumeriafarm #plumeriadaily #sandiegoplumeria #socalplumeria #plumeriaflower #plumeriaflowers #plumerialover #leimaking #plumerialei #leilove #leimaker #lei #leis #sandiegoleimaker #socalleimaker

Helix Sunrise is a seedling of Makanani cultivated here on Atkinson Plumeria Farm. We named it this because she grew on our eastern border and the sun would rise above her. Plus, we live on Mt Helix and had to throw some love to our hometown. #plumeria #plumerias #frangipani #frangipanis #atkinsonplumeria #atkinsonplumeriafarm #plumeriadaily #sandiegoplumeria #socalplumeria #plumeriaflower #plumeriaflowers #plumeriagrower #plumerialover #plumeriafarm #plumeriafarmer #helixsunriseplumeria
