Anecdotal Notes
Diana
Hawaii, from Sho (?) Kawahari. Magnificent, multi-colored, 3-4“, heavy textured and smells like roses with a hint of plumeria. Prolific bloomer with outstanding keeping quality. PROFUSE bloomer all season and grows like a weed. Flowers constantly change - never looks the same. Sometimes opens solid red, than changes to red rainbow and even looks red and white marbleized. I planted this Lani tree in the ground this season since she was so huge - about 8ft tall and with 76 tips. Recommended for the coast. White line in the middle of petals. Floral fragrance. Lanky grower, long branches. Easy to root. Red edge on leaf. Long bloom season. Blooms serially. Sets seed.
