A remarkable Thai cultivar representing a significant horticultural selection. Thai white 3.5-4 inch flowers with bright orange center display irregular splattering of maroon and pink markings as if someone flicked paint on the face. Buds before opening are purple-maroon. Nice clean sweet fragrance. She is a J-105 with a splash anomaly. An unrelated Thai seller encountered a J-105 that developed a splash anomaly, propagated it, and realized the anomaly showed itself consistently. The main tree was shipped to the hybridizer, who has been propagating it selectively for nearly a decade, with all wonderful traits of the J-105 and the splash anomaly. Notable for ease of rooting, gorgeous rainbow coloring that is moody and changes with heat and conditions. Big thick and beefy branching creates a spectacular tree to own. Also documented as 3-inch soft shades of medium to light pink with shadows of gold and unique pointed petals, strong rose fragrance, a seedling of Marion B.

Anecdotal Notes
Diana
Thai white 3 1/2- 4" with bright orange center, with irregular splattering of maroon and pink markings as if someone flicked paint on its face, buds before opening are purple/ maroon. Nice clean sweet fragrance. She's a J-105 with a Splash Anomaly. Seedling in Thailand from Jack Ingwersen the owner and founder of Jungle Jack's. An Unrelated Thai seller came across a J-105 that developed a Splash Anomaly. That seller propagated it and realized the Anomaly was showing itself consistently. That Seller asked me to name the J-105 with Splash. Joe Pena named her Norma Christina after my daughter. The main tree was shipped to me and I've been propagating her selectively for almost a decade now. All the wonderful traits of the J-105 and with a Splash Anomaly. She's my Favorite and always will be. Ease of rooting, Gorgeous Rainbow coloring that is moody and changes with the heat and conditions. And yes, sorry to remind you that my J-105's or Norma Christina have never had a real descriptive fragrance. Big Thick and Beefy Branching a spectacular tree to own
