Anecdotal Notes
Very small Thai 2” orange with dark veins. Seedling of Dwarf Pink Singapore, but is not a true dwarf plant. Branches are thin and elongated. Leaves are small, shiny and light green with acute tips. Stingy bloomer. 2" Brilliant orange center, that fades to yellow then white. Narrow Petals with rounded tips that curl ever so slightly upwards at the edges. A Soft Sweet Scent. Smells like Fruit Loops. Very difficult to root or graft, but can be rooted. It smells very sweet peach and strong. Very slow growing. the petals on DOS are more obtusely shaped and rounded at the tips, are a very soft cream-sickle peach at the tips when freshly opened (this fades to cream in the sun), and don't overlap. Overall DOS is more of an orange flower than the orange to pink of DRC. Growth is not very dwarf – branches are thin but not very short. One of the hardest to root and graft. I believe it is a seedling of Dwarf Pink Singapore. It has very skinny branches, and once established, blooms on very short branches. Very slow growing. Fast growing. Short lived flowers. Dwarf Orange Sherbet Kukiat 2012. 4 - 4.5 feet tall as a mature tree with a bushy form. Seedling of Dwarf Singapore Pink. 2.5" with a lovely sweet fragrance. Growth habit is low. Narrow leaves. Very difficult to root and to grow.
