In this pic the Cupids are newly bloomed.. as days go on they get darker in color. I am not definate on your cultivar, but it looked an aweful lot like this one. Yes they are yummy!! All the way around. I find that here in Fort Worth keeping them shaded half the day helps a lot. The climate is very dry, and they have startled me several times by driving up to them wilted. I quickly bottom water and they spring back.
I am starting a new group of them in the back yard around the kitchen.. It will be more shaded with dappled sunlight, and right beside the water faucet.
They will bloom without a lot of full sunlight, they are REAL easy to propagate by cuttings, the fragrance is stunning, and ...oh yeah, they're beautiful! Pretty much all I know about Brugs so fa myself.. LOL!
Now ya know twice as much as me:-)

My first Brug, bloomed in late fall here, you can see the autumn leaves there behind. I cut the whole plant down before the first hard freeze. It was really huge, and I clipped a lot of it off and stuck it in a big vase of water. It rooted fast inside and I potted in January. They grow well inside, even in a cool gaage they will bloom... >>
