Hello Bill, beautiful flower it kind of looks like Aztec Gold with the pink stripe on the back. I'm looking forward to see mine blooming, may be in a year or two.

Erika- my Aztec Gold is more gold and has only a very faint pink on the back. It also smells peachy whereas the VCR smells like a red rose. Perhaps in more heat and humidity the AG will show more color.

Both are beautiful!!! The growing season just ended and I don't know how I'll be able to wait until spring gets here. Hopefully we'll have a "normal" spring and summer next year.

That's a good lookin Aztec Gold. The color is very good.
IMHO... from the land of heat and oppresive humidity.(may - sep)
Houston - Cloudy and 90F tomorrow. :O
Hey, I see So. Cal. got some morning thunder storms today. Very strange.

Bill, that is just beautiful. I love the dark pink band on the back.

Dave- Your friend Boca Joe came by this morning and really liked the VCR. He was very nice and enjoyed the jungle. Bill

Yeah, he gave me a call after he left your place and told me how much he enjoyed your plumeria plantation! LOL!

hey Bill-

I am still inhaling that great fragrance of the Vera Cruz rose.

Great collection , the best I have seen!

The plumerias you gave me made it home fine.
