Anecdotal Notes
Diana
only photo I've seen of a Lei Rainbow is on the Upland Nursery site and it is very different from a Nebel's. Lei Rainbow on the Upland website matches the Eggenberger description of Lei Rainbow ("a unique blend of rainbow colors—pink, yellow, and red—with separated petals ..."). LBR sold by Upland is not considered the same plant, and closely resembles Candy Stripe. Sets seed.
