I know what you're saying about the pinks
Its getting very hard to tell the difference between many of the brugs that are pink
I'll bet we can post pictures of 10 of them and they would all be looking so alike no one could tell which is which

I now have a seedling(one of Susie's) and I'm in love with it....
but am I going to name it?
probably not
Is Susie?
highly unlikely

It looks so much like many of the others that are out there that it would be a shame to release it under a name
If it later takes on characteristics that makes it stand out in a crowd then I will discuss it with Susie and go from there
for now,I will just keep it around cause I like it
Maybe use it in some crosses
( Just because it doesn't have a name doesn't make it undesirable or the offspring mutts)
Its the genes that count

I think everyone should think long and hard before naming every seedling that that have
If you put it up against Named Brugs that are similar is yours going to stand out?
Can the general public pick your wannabe named brug out of a crowd of similar brugs?
I'm not just talking the flower shape and color,but leaf shape ,texture?
how does it stand up to heat,damp,cold, wind pests??????
How often does it bloom?
These things take time to find out and please.....take that time
Give it a pet name for yourself and stop the urge to register it until its been proven worthy
am I babbling.....LOL

this is one of Susies seedlings
its EP X Butterfly
But can you tell its different from PB or many of the others out there?
