Thank you for taking the time to dig up the 2007 Post. Made me smile.....
I read both links you provided....I have not yet ventured into Cubits very much. My comfort level is here....

When I donated away my "Maya"--I did call it that, as that is what I had known it by for years.
I can, certainly, shoot an e-mail to the Arboretum and put in a disclaimer...
Do you semi-agree with Brugie (2007) that it Might be a "Peaches and Cream"? That would help.....

And...may I just say that us "plain Folks"-- vs serious Bruggers like you and Ken--are just happy to have a nice growing and flowering Brug and accept whatever name it has been known by from the donor and not question the finer points..
No one I know in this are is into hybridizing Brugs....Most people around here never even heard of a Brugmansia!
Cuttings get passed on and on--and everyone accepts whatever name it has.
Same goes for Daturas, and Epis, and Pregnnt Onion and Climbing Onion and Ric Rac cactus, etc....
I grow all those too....and have proliferated the Mid Atlantic with these through Swaps.

i DO understand your, and Kens. frustration re all this name thing.
It is like Julia Child having to accept a newbie cook preparing one of Julia's fancy meals and then calling it the "real thing"...
Silly example--I know, but it is just from a whole different level that when you look at these kind of things from the "top"...

And--I DO want to apologize to "rottenroots" for this huge digression on her original topic.

I appreciate your input and feel a bit more educated....Gita .
