I don't think it's a Morange red, it has some yellow in it. It sort of looks like Hurricane, possibly a seedling of Hurricane or maybe an unnamed cultivar. It's very pretty whatever it is.

I just planted 2 order totaling 21 yesterday. They must have had some of them under shade cloth or in part shade because today many of them got sunburned leaves. I wish they would state the fact that some were not hardened to full sun yet. Oh well, less leaves, more energy into the roots. I'm going to give them all Dyn-Gro Pro Tek tonight. That will help with the heat and sun stress. Our sun down here in July is intense and so is the heat. August is even worse, September is often the hottest month so they have a while to go before they get any balmier conditions.

I found this tree here in town. It's an old tree, probably not even named but it has the most intense gardenia fragrance, really intense. I got a 3 tip cutting, really hope it roots for me because I love this one. It's a compact tree, so will be good for a pot on the veranda where the SE breezes can carry the incredible fragrance of this one.
