Anecdotal Notes
Diana
Very curly, star shaped bloom. Yellow with vivid pink stripe on side, pink on back, and red heart. Our only 'spider' plumeria. Really quite pretty, solid semi-compact to medium grower. Smells wonderful. Not cold tolerant. Striking 2.5-3” spider-shaped blooms with multicolored petals. Slender separated petals reflex into an ornate ball shape. Very vibrant orange and gold colors, accented with magenta outer edges. Outstanding red veins create a striped look. Solid medium growing tree. Floral scent. Strong fruity fragrance and a long lasting inflos. Slow to root. Shooting Star at Florida Colors Nursery. Probably JJ’s Marco Polo.
