Anecdotal Notes
Diana

Wide elliptical slightly twisted pink flowers with yellow centers. Good brancher, tall. Delicate light pink with narrow petals and glowing orange-yellow center. Sweet fragrance and good texture. Easy to bloom. Pale pink about 3 1/2" with small, brilliant yellow center. Petal is wide with a round tip and moderately overlaps. Slightly sweet fragrance. Pale pink w/ small, brilliant yellow center; petal narrow, round tip, moderately overlapping; wide, moderate pink band on back; 3 1/4"; keeping quality fair. A velvety texture to large flowers with an excellent fragrance. Growth habit is upright. Light green leaves are lanceolate with acuminate tips. Given full sun and plenty of room for its roots it will bloom really heavy and have a good medium strength fragrance, floral and a little bit like Grove Farm. Creamy flowers with a hint of pink amidst green strappy foliage. White to very bright pink depending on the weather. The fragrance is very peachy. Strong lovely scent, floral mixed with coconut. Found a 30 year old tree in Orange. Lanky but upright tree but snails really like to eat the tips and it is slightly cold sensitive. It will get a little chill then drop the whole branch. Medium to fast grower. Not lanky but also not thick like Jeannie moragne. Sets seed. Timmy Moragne misspelling of Kimi Moragne in Thornton Book
