Thanks, Robert. I have Suki's Wave Rage and can't wait to see it bloom. I think that this unknown might be Pinwheel Rainbow as it looks like my other Pinwheel Rainbow that bloomed last summer, but it is not blooming this summer so it is hard to tell. I like it -- whatever it is.

Hey, I've been meaning to post about your unknown. I saw another picture that I thought resembled yours. Emerson posted it and wrote:

"When I began bringing this cultivar back to the Houston Area in 1992, I called it Hot Pink, not because of the color but because it appears as such in ET's book on page 22.

It is a strong, rangy tree that is tough as a boot. It has to be to tolerate the conditions in the Fla Keys. You will find them from Homestead to Key West basking in the sun and paying no attention to all the storms.

Here is his picture. Does this look like one that you have?
