Dwarf Orange Plumeria
Dwarf Orange aka Dwarf Fruit Salad. Very small Thai 3″ orange with dark veins. Seedling of Dwarf Pink Singapore, but is not a true dwarf plant. Branches are thin and elongated. Leaves are small, shiny and light green with acute tips. Stingy bloomer. 3″ Brilliant orange center, that fades to yellow then white. Narrow Petals with rounded tips that curl ever so slightly upwards at the edges. A Soft Sweet Scent. Smells like Fruit Loops. Very difficult to root or graft, but can be rooted. Very slow growing. the petals on DOS are more obtusely shaped and rounded at the tips, are a very soft cream-sickle peach at the tips when freshly opened (this fades to cream in the sun), and don’t overlap. Overall DOS is more of an orange flower than the orange to pink of DRC. Growth is not very dwarf branches are thin but not very short.
