Tempest

Tempest. Now out of the archive and into the book.

Currently unavailableNo cuttings in this release

TEMPEST 🌺💧 Named for chaos, yet she stands poolside like the calm authority on duty, tossing perfect blooms onto the water as if checking every ripple.

Her flowers open in luminous blends of strawberry pink, soft shell white and a warm golden heart that glows from within, each one beaded with droplets like she’s just stepped out of the storm she’s meant to be.

The petals are thick, sculpted and gently cupped when young, then easing into broader, elegant rounds as they mature, overlapping in a way that gives every bloom depth and movement.

Steve has approved Tempest as a named cultivar record from the Facebook archive, with the photographs staged into the Frangis After Dark collection.

Tempest is published as a living dossier: enough evidence to meet her properly, with the formal source details still being sharpened.

Her dossier

Tempest, on the record.

The personality stays playful. The plant record stays precise—separating what is documented, what has been observed in this collection and what still needs confirmation. Every record is maintained by Steve as part of his private Perth collection.

BrockMark plant tags, permanent cultivar labels, with an engraved tag reading definitely not the pink one

Her name, written in metal

She deserves better than a fading marker.

I label every plant in my collection with tags made by my son Brock at BrockMark. He permanently laser-engraves them into weatherproof anodised aluminium, finishes each one with a stainless-steel wire loop and checks the spelling before the plants are left to defend their own identities.

If your own collection has started answering to “that pink one near the fence”, Brock can restore order.

Before she leaves the house

Quarantine rules apply.

Movement restrictions apply across the Perth metropolitan Quarantine Area. Before collection or delivery is arranged, the destination address and the current Management or Containment Zone rules must be checked using WA’s official polyphagous shot-hole borer guidance and interactive map.

Tempest will only be supplied where movement is permitted under the requirements in force at the time. The image shown here is a supplied reference only; the current official map and Quarantine Area Notice are the authority.
