It is somewhat related to Plumeria, but they are both from different regions. Plumeria are typically from central Hawaii towards the smaller islands, and brighamia is only found on the island Molokai. As for its species, Brighamia is from the family Campanulaceae while plumeria is part of the family Apocynaceae. They are both cactus like in genus, but are from different bloodlines of plants. But maybe or maybe not! Not sure if they are closely related, i am only going off the names.
Yes, thank you very much Seana. Sorry for the relation of plumeria and brighamia. You are right... no relation whatsoever. I just didn't do my research at the time. Thank you for the clarification. As to the cactus part of my reply, yes, i meant its habit. Also, do you have any brighamia insignis or rockii? I really want a rockii, but can't find any these days!!!
Did both of them flower yet? I would like to know if you are interested in hybridizing them? And I really want to see their fruits, seeds, and seedlings, etc. This plant is very rare for sale.
+Hung Tran No, not yet. I am interested in hybridizing them but they have yet to flower. I hope to get them to flower, pollinate them, and watch the fruits and seeds form. We shall see! I'll try to keep you updated!
Can't wait for it! There is other variety, Brighamia rockii, which is rarer than this plant! I just wonder if you know. Its flower color is white and usually smaller than insignis. 😊
+Hung Tran yes, rockii is exactly what i want to hybridize with insignis. i have a friend who has some rockii, i shall give it a try some time in the future! thanks for your comments!
That would be awesome! Can't wait to see the cross breeding of them! As I know that B. insignis usually flowers after 2 or 3 years old. So, I guess your plant may flower next winter as this plant flowers before or around winter time! 😊

Interesting. Are these related to Plumeria?
