Samantha Jade

from the collection of Richard and Evelyn Toba named for Samantha Patla. Bright pink with dark pink veining. Orange yellow center. Scent is light but very sweet. “Wow, as the "Samantha Jade" this flower was named after, I am so incredibly honored for how much love this post has gotten. My grandfather cultivated this plant and many others and all he ever wanted was for others to enjoy his passion as much as he did. He never accepted a dime from anyone for cuttings, seedlings or leis unless the money was going directly to charity. However, some have taken advantage of his generosity and renamed his cuttings to sell for profit. We are so incredibly grateful that you all have such appreciation for this flower with its true name (which he carefully named after each of his family members while grafting). I know he would have been in awe of all of your passion for the plumerias and would have loved to spread the aloha spirit with you all. On behalf of my family, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts and send you all much aloha.” Several are named after his six grandchildren, Kristy, Samantha, Rachel, Ryan, Cameron and Kelli.
