Anecdotal Notes
Everlasting Love and Love Lane Pink are slightly darker versions. Love Lane is a street in the city of Townsville in Far North Queensland. Original tree was destroyed during Yasi cyclone that damaged Townsville. Capalaba is a suburb of Brisbane. Medium compact tree. A very attractive well overlapped 3” pink. Nice symmetrical medium tree with many flowers. Good frangipani fragrance. Heavy bloomer. Hooks on end of petals. Very thick and velvety petals that last well. Blooms early. Rounder petals, mixed color. Little tag on the end of each bloom. Deep, reddish pink, 3", fades within a day or two. While many plumeria lose color while fading, this one actually becomes even prettier. The scent is a lovely, strong, and extremely citrus-sweet- floral; petals are unusually fat. In sun it is a deep Red/Orange. In heat it colours up but the colour in the centre of the petals remains yellow, but the edges get that deep Red/Orange. The backs of the petals have the dark stripe where the sun has hit them as buds, but the backs of the petals can be white. Highly changeable colors. Medium floral scent. Pubescent new growth. Fast growing, lanky.
