Anecdotal Notes
Same detail as Celadine although flower is almost entirely yellow. White edging as flower ages. Large dramatic white flowers with a yellow splash in the center. Blooms about 4". The center yellow is slightly smaller than the traditional lemon drop. Strong lemon fragrance. Brilliant yellow; petal wide, elliptical, pointed tip, highly overlapping, no bands on front or back; heavy texture; 3 1/2"; excellent keeping quality. 3-4” with a great fragrance. Its growth habit is compact with well proportioned branching. Best for fragrance. A seedling of 'Courtade Pink' but may be a natural cross with Celadine as ET had a large and varied collection. Recommended, never stops blooming on one branch or another. Large clusters of bright yellow color with little white edge around the petals, 4-4.5", medium fragrant. Pod Parent: Courtade Pink. Bright green leaves with pubescent new growth. Compact tree. Multiple, full, vibrant yellow inflos. Bright white along the outer edges of the petals. The leaves are dark green, quite lush and full. Fragrance, medium strong, can't classify the scent, but pleasant. The only bloom that isn't affected by the cool temps. Heavy bloomer. Easy to root. One of the most floriferous. Dies to branch after cutting. Pubescent branches. Bud Guillot says this is a strong grower, tolerates the cold weather well, and very hardy. Very robust and thirsty plumeria. The stems are beefy and a lighter green. Easy/fast rooter, thick branching, fast grower, generous bloomer, hearty. Compact habit, easy to propagated and easy to bloom. Strong lemon jasmine fragrance. Brilliant yellow; petal wide, highly overlapping, no bands on front or back; heavy texture; 3 1/2", nice and full bundle when it blooms, heavy blooming. Sets seed.
