Pink Pearl

Coral Coast. #398 2006 Seedling from a random crossing of Singapore Evergreen. It flowers both winter and summer. Petals are long, thin, with no overlap and pale pink pinwheel, slightly darker on one side, and with a yellow eye that goes down to an orange/red throat at the centre. Perfume is a strong, sweet floral. Leaves are much wider, though dark and leathery. Perfume is close to Singapore Evergreen with a sweet overlay. Fast grower, with habit of throwing random ‘sideways’ branches that are just about horizontal. Soft pink, slightly darker on one side with a yellow eye into an orange-red throat. This tree is currently flowering for a second time this season, retaining first flowers at apex of new branches, with new blooms at the tips of the same new branches. Leaf texture is not like a Singapore, and is softer, like chamois leather on top, and matte underneath with heavy veining. Pink Pearl C-Stars looks like Gardena or Blush Pink, strong scent Pink Pearl Marilyn’s Garden. Very old variety. Edging gets darker with heat. This is a smaller bloom, about 2.5" or so.
