Mele Pa Bowman #114 aka Evergreen Singapore Yellow, 3 1/2″ flower, Yellow Obtusa. A cross between Singapore Evergreen White and Celadine. One of the most desirable trees because of its gorgeous shiny foliage with dark green leaves and beautiful yellow flowers with the same strong unique perfume as the Singapore. Large highly fragrant yellow edged in white; obovate petals with rounded tips, no overlap; moderate texture; strong citrus lemon scent; Most desirable plumeria for fragrance, keeping quality poor. Yellow with white edge, oval petals, rounded tips, no overlapping, medium texture, tendency to have heart shaped petals. Medium growth habit, constantly covered with crystals from dried sap. Drought tolerant, easiest to flower and grow. The flower was spotted by plant collector, Donald Angus back in the early 80‰’s. He asked Jim Little if it was a true Singapore Yellow as only the white was known. JL met a beautiful kamahina elderly lady by the name of Maile odonnell, who loved her plants and saw a seedling growing under her White Singapore tree. The only other tree in the yard was a Celadine. Three years later it showcased a beautiful Celadine color with a Singapore fragrance and shiny evergreen foliage.
