Anecdotal Notes
Diana
Although I was the one who introduced this unique and beautiful Fireblast plumeria to the world, all credit should go to my dear sister Sirikarn Thumchai and her late husband; she is the originator of this plant. The original tree at her home died in the flood 5 years ago. Vibrant 3.5″ blooms with a lovely, sweet fragrance. May have had another name. Semi-compact and slow growth. Tall upright, fast growing, very lanky. Difficult to root. Extremely cold sensitive, hard to keep alive. Strong jasmine fragrance. Light spicy sweet scent. Sets seed.
