Description
This JJ cultivar produces very colorful 3-inch blooms that appear in large clusters with a swirl of white, red, pink and orange. The fragrance is fabulously strong, sweetly exotic-floral. The flowers are typical fruit salad with many flowers per inflorescence and easily flowered. The plant has huge wide leaves, thick trunk and compactness. The growth is vigorous with medium-height and late blooming. The colors become more orange-ish in the hottest weather with pink edges becoming deeper. The parent tree was lost in Thailand's 2011 flooding, limiting availability.
