| I purchased this one years ago on EBay from 1 stop aloha (I think), as a Jeannie Moragne, JR.
But I'm not so sure that's what it is. Can any of you tell if this could be a Jeannie? Photos I've seen of others' look like the petals are wider. Mine almost looks more like a Kauka Wilder. The petals are sort of flimsy and don't hold up well or last very long (not a good lei flower, in other words). Smell is fruity fragrant. Here are more photos of it blooming this season (really warm summer).

| Dave, That is definitely J Morange Jr. The petals will get a slightly fuller, could be because its a first blooming cycle. You can tell by the color and the golden eye pattern its J Morange Jr. Gorgeous pics |

| OK, thanks! Not the best pics (iPhone) I'll admit. The twist to the petals makes them look narrow I guess. The veination in the petals is more evident when they fade or in cooler weather. But otherwise it's a very brilliant-colored flower, especially in this heat. |

| Kauka wilder is smaller but the true test is Jeannie smells like rose or sometimes a little peachy but KW smells like Hawaiian Tropic suntan lotion. That is a Jeannie. Bill |

| Hey Dave, I love the rich color in the Jeannie Jr. I have never heard of the Jeannie Jr. But she looks beautiful!! Congratulations on a beauty!!! Laura in VB |

| Laura- Jeannie Moragne, Jean Jr or Jeannie Jr are the same. They refer to the seedling named after Bill Moragne;s daughter-in-law (Jean), not to be confused with Jean or Jean Sr refering to the seedling named for Bill's wife Jean. Jean or Jean Sr.:  |
