Anecdotal Notes
Diana
Gets much redder with sunlight. Chameleon. Thick petals. Recommended for the coast. Vivid red-burgundy and yellow plumeria on a compact plant. Excellent strong spicy sweet fragrance. With sunlight, gets much redder than this greenhouse photo. Maybe our best compact variety, at least in terms of its propensity to bloom like the party will never end. In higher light/heat the 3-5" flowers become a beautiful red rainbow. Huge thick petals and beautiful foliage.
