Anecdotal Notes
Technically, it is not a registered plumeria because the last name, since a pansy is another flower. The rules for registration do not allow the final word in a name to be another plant. Therefore, the plant was assigned a registration number by the PSA but the name would have to be altered somehow to be Pansy Pink, or some other name that pleases the ICRA for it to be a registered plumeria. It is a well known cultivar in the USA and would always be known as Pink Pansy. Similar to Danai Delight (darker edge) and Kasem's Delight. Pink Pansy is different from Lulu. If you look careful, it has different features. Pink Pansy has better scent compared to Danai Delight. PP flower is bigger. The only advantage of DD is she has better keeping quality. Both plants flower well thru out the year on matured plants. Cleanly marked pink and white, 2 ½” shaped like pansies. Red edge on back. Compact. Blush pink, white and violet edging on edge. Thick overlapped petals cupped inward give it the appearance of a pansy. Throat is a vivid orange-yellow, sweetly scented and has great keeping quality. 3" White with a prominent pink edge on the whole petal. Highly overlapped with nice round petals and a small yellow center. Nice sweet fragrance of grape koolaid or candy sweet tarts. Most desirable plumeria for fragrance. Medium small well branched tree. Carmen is the pod parent. Nicely shaped rounded petals with a pink edge and a yellow center. Recommended for the coast. Light lavender-pink with violet pink edges and violet lines running through the rounded overlapping petals, small yellow throat with sweet fragrance. A nice white, light pink with more intense pink along one rim side and yellow center, 3" to 5". Petals heavy overlapping, almost circular but slightly pointed with wavy margin. Lei quality over 12 days. Cold Tolerant. Slow grower, good patio plant. Fast grower. Good brancher. Easy to root. Produces superior seedlings that improve on the original variety. Seeds are hard to start.
