I was wondering if any one could help me here. A collector friend of mine got some German brugs from someone she knows--- who got them from a well-known German hybridizer a couple of years ago and is just now releasing them. However, I think not only did I get ripped-off, but also my friend and her friend as well. A few of the varieties are still too soon to tell, and they do have different foliage from one another-----but-------- these two here, man...... I am sorely disappointed and worried what the rest will look like. I am hoping it was an honest mistake, and am waiting to see how the other 5 varieties bloom before passing word back to the person who went through all the hassle to get them from Germany and wait two years

Anyway, one of them is called Angel's Moonlight, and is supposed to be a double flowering golden-orange to solid orange. The other is called Angel's Inspiration, and is supposed to be so dark pink it is almost red (also a double flower). Anyway, both plants are about 6 feet tall-- and this is what I a getting. I am posting 2 pics of each flower in the order I mentioned them above. I thought the heat and humiduty, if anything, would help intensify the colors. Is this normal for colors such as these are suppsed to be to do this:
