Golden Pagoda

. In Oz, Sacred Gardens has sold GP, but it’s Butterfly Gold. The scent is a strong coconut smell. Large, strong texture and excellent keeping quality, large over lapping petals that fold over onto each other creating beautiful star shape, heavily veined with golden yellow center radiating out to a rose red to pagoda type pointed tips. True gold color of the buds. Full rounded petals with an inverted lip on the edges, highlighted with a maroon band into an occasional pointed tip. The fragrance is mild and sweet. 2.5". Growth habit is good and usually branches well. Upright inflos. Needs moisture even during dormancy. GP does not perform as well as it does in Hawaii or Florida based on JL and Lopaka's pics. Medium tall. Huge leaves. Sets seed. Golden Prelude possibly 2 with this name, one is round, the other with long petals Golden Rainbow faint sweet scent Golden Rainbow probably Brea. HI Super creamy scent. If gold had a smell this would be it. 4 1/2" Petals are wide, rounded and slightly overlapping. Petals are white with a beautiful gold/yellow center and a medium pink band on the edge. Underside of petal is white with a broad pink band. Keeping quality- Ok. Medium texture. Too large too use as a lei. Makes a great hair flower. Leaf- Dark green, 38cm long and 11 cm wide. Grows upright and quite large with dense branching habits. Leggy and tall. Poor roots. Reliable bloomer. Nice scent. Sets seed. Golden Ray not Sai Thong. JJ. Very temperamental and needs heat to bloom well. 6" fiery orange whose colors get very intense with heat and humidity. The smell is sweet much like the "Scott Pratt" smell. A finicky plant, but once it likes where it is it blooms its little head off. Huge Blooms and you can't beat the colors. Temperamental about heat, tends to black tip when young and drop inflos. Mother tree died in 2010 Thai floods. Odd wood. Recommended. slow grower, gets black tip @ 40 degrees, and a hard one to keep alive until it gets good roots. The scent is very strong....more sweet than floral. Growth habit seems to improve as it gets older, it's not so gangly anymore. Yellow knobby trunk. GR is not leggy like Sai Thong. Sai Thong also blooms more profusely than GR. http://laviedansanteplumerias.com/golden-ray/
