This is truly one of my favorite dark pink Brugs. She can get very dark pink and her blooms are pretty big. I love her form. She is a Butterfly x Ecuador Pink cross and belongs to the Breeding Set cubensis (meaning her genetics come from the species aurea, suaveolens and versicolor). I don't know if anyone else has had trouble with her rooting, but I've lost a bunch of cuttings and I came close to losing her to grasshoppers last year. Maybe that makes her more precious to me. Her pod is not as old as the others as she bloomed and was pollinated in early December. The pollen parent for this pod is unknown.
