Anecdotal Notes
Diana

Always the first to bloom. Sometimes will spit out inflos before any leaves arrive. Prolific bloomer all through spring, summer and fall. Produces many seedpods almost every branch. Never needs care. A dominate plant - if you plant it near another type she will wrap roots around it and cause the next inflos to look like her. One of the softest petals out of all. What makes this so great is that she is a heavy bloomer and seeder and one of my trees has been blooming for 3 years non-stop even through winter. The smell is of baby powder on a strong scented rose. Rose/Baby Powder smell and the flowers are very soft. Blooms before leaves. One of the most hardly plumerias and blooms all year if the weather is warm/cool. Heavy bloomer and heavy seeder and the seedpods are 12"-18" in length. This plant also tends to fight off rust even if the plant next to it is infected and responds nicely to fungicides. Once mature this tree will have a woody bark like an oak tree. Easy to root. It's sweet and pretty fragrant because it gets huge bouquets of blooms. The blooms aren't huge, about 2-3" but it gets a lot and keeps putting them out from spring until late fall early winter. It's a very reliable bloomer. Flamingo Pink P. Hut. compact.
