Kaulanani

This great tree branches densely and wide. Keeping quality is excellent and flower production is heavy. Striking cultivar in gold and red. A glowing golden 3" with excellent texture, petals moderately overlapped with a slight orange band on front and slight pinkish band on back. Nice sweet fragrance and good keeping quality! Voted as over rated in socal – looks yellow. Very narrow pointed leaves. Nice strong apricot color with orange on one side, nicely blended between two color, 3.5", strong fragrance. Tall. Keeps leaves all winter. Gloria Schmidt from Texas grew the plant from seed. When it left Texas it was called Kaleinani. JL took some cuttings of it back to Hawaii and erroneously put the name on it of Kauanani which morphed over the years to Kaulanani. Stokes and Janet both sold it as Kaulanani. Medium growth habit. Contrast between newer and older blooms. Sets seed. Kaulani sets seed.
