To artificially pollinate a plumeria, you need to put a wire, fishing
line...etc, into the throat of the flower down to the anther, break the anther
to release pollen grains and deposit them on the stigma. For cross pollination,
you need to get pollen from one plant (father) and deposit them on the stigma of
the mother plant. According to Mr. Bud Guillot (personal communication),
thrips help pollinating plumeria in the nature. When
dissecting an adenium flower, I had seen
tiny thrips inside the flower throat, so thrips may also help pollinating
adenium.
