Thai Peach JJ (two cultivars share the name) produces nice clusters of 3 to 3.5 inch flowers that are yellow with pink along the edges and exquisite orange veining spreading from the center. Petals overlap and sometimes twist; the individual flowers are the largest among related selections. Color changes dramatically with heat. Growth habit is unusually horizontal and weepy, and the plant is a prolific, all-season bloomer with huge, basketball-sized inflorescences. Fragrance is a great floral scent (some describe it simply as "interesting" and kind of nice). The plant needs heat to bring out full color. The mother tree in Thailand is believed to be lost or destroyed.
