    Hi BIll!

    Love the Makaha Sunn!!

    How gorgeous!!!

    I hope mine will bloom like that some year!!!

    Carol grafted one for me and it is doing well, but im sure it will take a few years to see a bloom like that one!!!

    Love the color!!

    Congratulations!!!

    Take care,

    SPECTACULAR!!! If anyone could do it I knew you would be the one. Did you give it any special treatment? Is it grafted?

  • 15 years ago

    I rooted it as a cutting two years ago and it is growing wonderfully.

    Gorgeous Bill, can't wait for mine to bloom. Is the fragrance as great as they say it is?

    Bill, that is AWESOME! What a brilliant blend of colors! Mine had the most interesting buds, before the inflo got cut off, a green and red twisted stripe that was so promising. Thanks for posting the pictures of the bloom, and let us know how it smells.

    Beautiful. I didn't get the pun at first. I'm going to add this variety to my wish list for this spring. I bet it will be brilliant in high temps and high humidity.

    Bill,

    Beautiful colors! How large are rhe blossoms? A real beaut!

  • 15 years ago

    Jen- the first blooms are about 3.5 inches but I expect it might be larger in time.
    Chuy- you've got my number. However this weekend I am going to the Battle of the paddle standup paddleboard race on Sat. and to the surfing dogs contest on Sun. Otherwise, give me a ring. Bill

    Bill, thanks for the info. How is the scent? You know that one that Mona Lisa called Hawaiian Royal color thst I have, looks similar! I wonder if it is the same, butnI think mine is smaller.

    It has a real strong floral scent.

    OMG one of my top favorites!!! The flower is just spectacular Bill! Congrats on your first M.S. bloom!
    I had wanted M.S. so badly, and finally was lucky enough to get a large 2 feet long cutting with 2 long tips, a month ago! It is rooting and looks like it's doing fine, so I'll be really thrilled if I get any inflo next summer! I've heard often that this variety is very hard to grow, but it will make the reward so much sweeter if it does bloom!

    Jen: Your Hawaiian Royal does look very much like M.S. Very nice colors! You and I both love those fiery orange colors don't we? :-)
