Description
#257 Barbara Randolph grew Heirloom from a seedling of registered Summer Spice.
Appearance
#257 Barbara Randolph grew Heirloom from a seedling of registered Summer Spice. Grew it in my yard in 1990 until I applied for registration because the standard was that the new registration had to be uniquely different from any registered plumeria. There are many new seedlings that can look like Heirloom, but are not Heirloom. 3 ½” butterscotch yellow covering 3/4 of petal fading to creamy yellow outer edge. Red veining radiates from eye.
