. From Makaha Country Club. Nice warm color rainbow with orange, yellow and peachy color in one flower, long petal and nicely curl back, good fragrance. Makanani massive tree in Ridge View, City Heights, San Diego. Means "pretty eyes" Hawaiian A multicolor white and pink with large yellow center. Good overlapping rounded petals. Vigorous grower. A new California cultivar from an old tree in San Diego. Next to the Makanani is the Cat Crap plumeria, named by Mr. Bast, the owner. He used to love to tell people that were admiring it to go over and smell the beautiful white flower. People would smell it and he would bust out laughing when they took a big whiff and would make a horrible face. He would tell them that they just got a whiff of cat crap. Commander Bast pulled that one on me back in the 70s. The plant at the Bast's former house still has that awful smell. It should named 'PILAU', which means "Stink”. Good graft host. Very slight scent, strong grower. Blooms well in cooler weather. Very tall inflos. Best rootstock for grafting. Seedlings are thick and strong, hardy and solid. Sets seed. Makawao Hawaii. Very fragrant.
