Anecdotal Notes
Diana

Soft and sweet, this lovely 2-3" pink blossom features a large, spiraling yellow and orange center. Charming deep pink rays spread from the heart, meeting up with the pink cupped rim. Semi-compact tree displays bright green, glossy leaves. Nice floral scent. Lulu seedling of Pink Pansy (photos seem to be a mix of a lookalike), not the same as Lu Lu. Another completely different Lulu in circulation. Initially sold by Brad Willis and originally from Chris Lewis of Australia. Several plants use this name. Not to be confused with Frangipani Heaven’s Lulu. Attracts spider mites. Stronger colors when it fist blooms and fades as it matures. Compact. Very fragrant, good brancher. Pink Pansy has a darker rim and flower shape is a little different from Lulu. Lulu propeller shaped, veiny Lulu’s Blood Oz Dark pink red flat petals. Large flower. Named for daughter of the nurseryman in Darwin that marketed Lulu; at the rear of the nursery they have a 20 acre block where they grow the frangipani, 1000s of seedlings and i believe Lulu's Blood is one of them.
