sweet. Like most of the
Moragne hybrids, the backs

Kauanani — In the late
1980's, Jim Little and Dr.
Richard Criley got a call
from Gloria Schmidt who
had some plumerias she
had started from seed. The
mature trees were going to
be bulldozed during a property expansion, and Mrs.
Schmidt wanted the cultivars
saved. Dr. Criley took several
cuttings back to the university where he grew them.
One of the saved varieties
was later named P.
Kauanani, and it is a beautiful rich deep gold. Towards
 the edges of the petal, the reds and Yellows mix in  such a way that there appears to

be a reddish glow. The plant has a wonderful upright growth habit, and the wood is of
medium thickness. The flowers are produced abundantly and their texture is thick.
