Anecdotal Notes
Diana
JJ growth habit is more compact than its parent plumeria. Originally named Mongolia, but not the same variety as current Mongolia. Deep and bright yellow flower with a scent of coconut. It is a thick stem variety. The coloration on this Gina seedling is truly spectacular, and the growth habit is more compact than its parent plumeria. Bright yellow flower with a scent of coconut, and as the weather heats up, the broad petal edges and tips turn red and the starburst heart spreads from the center. Wavy, deep green leaves grow from thick branches. A lovely compact tree that grows bushy and wide.
