Colors
PinkOrangeYellowRed
Description
Not the same as Sumatran Tiger Eye or Bali Tiger. Discovered in Indonesia along with Bali Palace by Jim Little in 1983. Lots of trees in Bali. Striking 3” rainbow with a vibrant red band on the back. The bud opens from a curl form and holds this shape for several days before fully opening. The fragrance is mildly sweet peach. The foliage is dark green with pointed tips and upright growth habit. Wonderful strong rainbow with very substantial petals. Rainbow orange-yellow with a dark pink on one side of petals, overlapping with a nice cupped flower, petal curve up front and rounded shape. Color can vary a lot with the heat. Opens up very intense in color then fades to pastels. The leaves are pointed, like PP and Cal Sunset, but the curve is not as pronounced. Late bloomer. Sparse bloomer. Easy to root. Strong scent. Thick petals. Brilliant orange yellow and hot combines, flower slightly tulip shape with dark reddish-pink band on the back of the petals, good texture. Red buds, flower 3 to 3.5 inches size when it matures, nice fruity fragrance (fresh nectarine or peach). Sets seed.
