Kaneohe Sunburst and a Mystery!

13 years ago

I was lucky enough to get 2 flowers so far on my Kaneohe Sunburst - this is such a gorgeous, great smelling plumie, I just LOVE IT!!! The colors are a LOT more vivid in person. I'm very bad at describing scents, but to me this is classic plumeria with a dash of coconut.

Here's an MPG mystery that opened - that radiating center eye looks familiar but I can't place the variety, I'll have to do some research unless any of you recognize it. I'll admit, I was disappointed because the petioles were very pink / red and I was surprised it was white and yellow, but it smells lovely and the radiating yellow is growing on me. When the bud is closed there is a faint pink band.

I think I would love the scent of KS. It is gorgeous, too!

I can see a bit of pink banding on your mystery. It could be Cyndi Moragne maybe? Does MPG sell it?

Nice Job E! Looks like a healthy inflo. I bet it keeps going until Thanksgiving. No idea on the other one.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments, this flower is really stunning, especially in person!!!

Robert, thank you, I really am glad, what a nice surprise! Especially since the inflo started before the cold snap but after being in the cold for a while the inflo went completely limp and I wasn't sure if it was thirsty or just cold but I thought I might lose it. I am suspecting it's root bound and getting dried out more quickly because water perked it back up but it wants to be watered more than the rest right now.

sbrow, thank you, I am in awe of the beautiful blend too! In person the pinks is darker and the orange is more vivid.

Thanks moonie! I've looked at MPG for it and I don't see it - I've heard they do not always use their stock for freebies - it could be something they don't sell maybe...

Thanks K, I'm especially happy to see this one after my Kimi Beauty's info began to drop the buds for some unknown reason - it was right after the cold snap but that really shouldn't have made it do that. Another branch has an inflo, we'll see if that one makes it. I'm loving this Kaneohe so much and I think I have another inflo on it's other branch too!!!
