Buena Vista
Colors
YellowWhite
Description
Buena Vista originated from seeds given to Dewaine C. by a woman on Buena Vista Street. The resulting seedlings produced multi-trunk plants, some more pronounced than others. The surviving plants bear yellow flowers—surprising, because the pod parent produced nearly all white flowers in some of the largest bouquets the grower had seen. Plants are fast and strong growers with an intoxicating, French-perfume-like fragrance.

Anecdotal Notes
Diana
from Dewaine C: All of the seeds that were given to me by the sweet Lady on Buena Vista St. Produced "multi trunks". Some more than others. The ones I still have are producing very nice yellow flowers. That was a big surprise since the pod parent produces almost totally white flowers and some of the largest bouquets I've ever seen. Fast and strong grower. Scent is intoxicatingly like a french perfume.
