Excellent deep glossy Velvety Red with a long lasting extra spicy fragrance. One of the longest lasting. Strong all red windmill with pointed tips.Petal wide, elliptical, round tip, slightly overlapping, moderate reddish-brown bands on front and back. Black line through the middle of each petal. Very dark new tip growth. Heavy texture. Depending on the time of day and sky conditions the colors will change to a more bright red from the blood red color normally seen. With fall weather the flowers petals curl and show the black back of the petals for a nice effect. Smells like cinnamon and the flowers fade to almost white with a burgundy center. Largest of the strong red plumerias. Scent slight spicy becoming stronger on storage. Good citrus spicy fragrance with a good keeping quality. Can grow purple leaves. Trees have tight branching. Not an easy cutting to root. Scott Pratt is darker. Hilo has larger cluster. Scott Pratt is a much smaller flower with thicker texture.
