This last one is Jacayna, a 6 pointer, by Paul Philips. I ended up with 2 Jacayna plants because I though I had lost my first one and bought another one. The first one eventually sent up a new shoot up from the underground trunk and bloomed this winter. Her color is listed as yellow/pink/white and that is the color of the first Jacayna's blooms. The second Jacayna's blooms, and she has had several flushes, have been all white. I don't know why her blooms have not colored up. This larger pod is on the "white" Jacayna. She has 2 pods. Both exhibit a crease down the vertical middle of the pod. I don't know if this is a characteristic of Jacayna. Both these pods were pollinated by moths.

Jacayna is a Frost Pink x Lexy cross and belongs to the Breeding Set cubensis.
