Hi David, you are so right that spring is the best time to trade after the cold weather has passed.

I agree with Hetty that Candy Stripe is an all-around winner with both beauty and fragrance and six-petalled blooms. Other rainbows that are wonderful to me are:

Kimo -- lots of orange in the center and smells delicious like Hedychium coronarium (Butterfly ginger). Kimo can be difficult to root so I would recommend getting a grafted one from Florida colors. This is a must-have in my book. The colors can vary and become darker with more intense heat. Here's a picture of mine below.

Teresa Wilder -- a reliable bloomer with gorgeous colors and a sweet but mild fragrance

Tahitian Sunset -- beautiful sherbert colors but only a slight sweet smell

Penang Peach -- lots of orange in the flower, a reliable bloomer, and a peach fragrance

Kauka Wilder -- beautiful rainbow with lots of red and a sweet fragrance

Grove Farm -- an amazing spicy fragrance of nutmeg and cloves, a big flower with beautiful colors

Mary Helen Eggenberger -- a fantastic elegant perfume with a beautiful flower

Typhoon -- this one is from Thailand and might be hard for you to find, but it has a beautiful orange center with a nice perfume.

Fruit Salad -- I have a fruit salad too from Australia, as Maydreams mentioned, and it is a beautiful orange, but mine has little to no fragrance. Fruit Salad is the name that is given to pretty much encompass a bunch of similar type of flowers in Australia so it may vary from seller to seller as to what you get with this cultivar.
