Anecdotal Notes
Diana
name given to Luc on a trip to Australia and named by the person who said he had the mother tree. Nickname of Brisbane botanical garden director. 3” Orange Pink. Medium, well blooming tree greets visitors to the Brisbane Botanical Gardens. A good fruit salad with a difference. Close to orange and sometimes pink/orange/yellow, and then I've had some blooms be primarily yellow...... all from the same plant. I think that's why it has soooo many names. Tall.
