Description
Beautiful Thailand is a medium Thai tree (probably Sherbert Town, similar to Temptation and to Dtaeng Mo with smaller petals) that produces large bouquets of rainbow-colored 3.5 inch flowers blending red, gold, orange, pink, and light yellow rather than showing strict banded colors. Bright orange and deep purple hues emerge as blooms age. Petals are of medium thickness with a nice shape. Fragrance is strong, sweet, floral, and peach-like. It is a consistent bloomer with large inflorescences and a long bloom season, can bloom on new tips, and sets seed.
