Saigon Moon #273 Very similar to Prayalare

Discovered by Bud Guillot in 1991 in California. It took quite some time before the man how owned the original Saigon Moon tree would cut her but finally Bud got a few cutting. It wasn’t till years later it was found out that the man moved and the new home owners had it cut down. When first open, blossoms are tulip shaped, soft yellow. When open fully, color changes to a creamy color with a touch of pink along edges, with small dark red eye. Blooms are heavy textured, good keeping quality. 5”, strong spicy scent.
