Description
With heat the petals twist everywhere, and in cooler weather the petals are wide. Features wonderful yellow and red pinwheel centers with pink edges that twist everywhere in heat and wide petals in cool weather. Terrific strong floral scent from big inflorescences on a medium-sized tree producing huge blooms. Also noted as Cream and Peaches with gorgeous blooms, very creamy with a touch of pink and sweet floral scent. Cream Kegon from Thailand features gold that stays in the full sun and seems to hold onto its variegation.
