I have had this Brug for 7 or 8 years. It was planted in the ground the first year and was not at all happy, so i moved it to a container. It has been happier, but has bloomed strangely and sporadically. It is variegated, including the pods. Last year it put out about a half dozen blooms and I thought i might get an ID....the consensus was that it was a Shredded Brug as the flowers were "torn into strips." This year, it has one bloom....and seems to be a normal bloom...but did not fully open. When I went out today to see if it had opened, the flower was gone...completely, all that was left was the bract and the stamen. The plant is only 3.5 to 4 ft tall. pic1 is this year's bloom. Pic2 is last year's bloom Pic3 shows more leaves Any ideas?
