Hi Don, that is so funny that it won't break its lateral growing habit. It doesn't seem to have the petal shape of SP, which has slender petals and no overlap. You could be right that it is a seedling of SP. My 'Cancun Pink' trees all seem to be very tall, fast growers.

I have a bunch of these pinks, and the color fades rapidly too. It is only a nice pink for about a day before it becomes a pale pink. Sometimes you can see a red star in the middle of the yellow center. The petals are big and floppy and have poor keeping quality, but it is a nice big flower. I actually have six of these -- three blooming, two with inflo's, and one is still dormant. I bought one a few years ago when it was labeled 'Playful' by C-Stars Nursery, but they have since changed the name to 'Cancun Pink.' The other five have come from different sources as gifts or trades. It seems to be a fairly widely distributed pink. A business named Just Plumerias sells this cultivar at fairs and flower shows all over the country: http://www.justplumerias.com/

That was really nice of you to share cuttings with everyone.
