History / Story	<span class="pdb-inline-current-value">Desert Sunrise is reported under the aliases J71, Jack 71, M71, Jack's Orange, and the misspelling Dessert Sunrise. It should not be treated as CS 2, and Orange Jack is reported as a different cultivar. Flowers are commonly described as 2.5-3.5 inches, with some reports of 3-4 inch blooms. Petals are rounded, thick, grainy, and yellow-orange with dark pink veining and dark pink bands along the outer petal edges. Heat can darken the blooms toward solid/deep orange, making it a chameleon cultivar. The plant is described as medium-short to compact or semi-compact, with thinner branches, shiny green foliage, and the ability to bloom on new tips. Inflorescences are reported as dense, large, and long-lasting, with Desert Sunrise often described as among the first and last cultivars to bloom. Fragrance reports include sweet scent, grape, night-blooming jasmine, and occasionally corn tortilla notes; scent may be stronger in the evening and at night when humidity is higher. Additional grower notes describe it as a slow rooter, early bloomer, cold-tolerant, recommended for fragrance, recommended for coastal growing, and able to set seed.<br /> <br /> Jungle Jack's source description: Dense, long lasting clusters of blazing, yet delicately colored 3-4" flowers. Thick, yellow-orange blooms with dark pink veining and dark pink outer edges. Highly variable coloration with gorgeous veins. Sweet grape scent. First and last to bloom. Creates an amazing display when the entire tree blooms. Shiny green foliage on a semi-compact tree. This stunning plumeria belongs in every collection.</span> <div class="pdb-inline-tools"><details class="pdb-inline-suggest pdb-inline-login-gate"><summary>Suggest correction</summary><div class="pdb-inline-panel"><p>To suggest a change, please log in or create a contributor account.
