Mardi Gras #226

3 1/2" orange and pink rainbow with peach fragrance is one of my favorites as far as smell and colors. The fragrance of tuttie fruitie / peachy. Rainbow sherbet when it first opens. Fades to white around the edges with the orange/red band in the middle. Compact growth and nice fragrance. Orange; petal wide, rounded, ruffled, pointed tip, highly overlapping, red bands on front and back; heavy texture; Beautiful swirling complex of multi colors and patternation. Nice sweet /spicy perfume. Orange, red bands on front and back, wide rounded petals, pointed tips, high overlapping, heavy texture, 3-1/2", keeping quality excellent. Fused mass of blended pastels that radiate a soft orange-yellow-pinkish blend. The fragrance is sweet and peachy and growth is compact. Elizabeth Thornton seedling and one of her most showy trees. 3" pink pastel blend that radiates a soft orange yellowpinkish array of colors. The fragrance is sweet and peachy and the growth habit is compact. Peach fragrance, smells like soap or laundry detergent, from a collection of 700 seedlings that originated in Texas. Blended of soft orange pinkish, sweet and peachy fragrance, wide and pointed tip, color turns softer toward the end of petals. Average growth habit with good branching. Elliptical green leaves have acute tips. Logo for the PSA. Pod parent: Courtade Pink. It will put on a show when you feed it properly. Roots well. Doesn't seem quite as robust as the Lemon Drop. Heavy bloomer. Strongly influenced by heat. Heat makes it red and orange and lesser heats make it pink and yellow. The less the heat, the lighter the color is. Mine is near white at times. Lots of different colors. Even without heat and with a first time bloom you get a lot of yellow. A very washed out pastel with lots of yellow in cooler weather. One of the most floriferous. Blooms Yellow/White in cool temps, Pink/Yellow in normal range, and Red/Orange in hot weather. 3-3.5”. Wide, slightly overlapping petals with pointed tips. Thick textured. Compact grower. Sweet peach fragrance. Pick a flower and drop it into a bowl of water and watch how the flower gets clear and feels like plastic. Easy to root. It bloomed this year and produced three branches. While it was still blooming, an inflo started on one of the new branches in the same year. Very rainbow sherbet of peachy, orange and pink rainbow with sweet peachy fragrance is one of my favorites as far as smell and colors. Recommended for fragrance. Wide petals and overlapping, heavy texture, 3 to 3.5", keeping quality excellent. The fragrance is strong sweet tuberose/gardenia and growth is compact, nice bundle of flowers. Sets seed.
