Anecdotal Notes
Diana

Sumatran Tiger Eye JL incredible, and incredibly expensive. Similar to Sudamala, Bali Tiger and Indonesian RB. JL was not the first person to get it. Also, this plant is supposed to be severely infected with virus (unverified…dd). Splash is inconsistent. From S.E. Asia. Secondly, the plant was collected in 1986 on one of my (?) trips to Asia. It could exist in Thailand but it is not all over the place. Page 94 in the book Growing Plumeria in Hawaii and Around the World. It roots fast and has a beautiful growth habit without chopping its head off. Does not always bloom true to photo. Roots easy, grows well and blooms great. Very difficult to grow in some climates.
