LOL Lali girl. Lali works at the Arboretum also. She is in charge of all their Hoyas, Gessies and chief assistant in Begonias. Which is a great thing for she and I are begonia crazy!! I am missing one designation aren't I, Lali? Obviously not a plant I adore. LOL At least yet. LOL

And I agree, the pic of the brug does not come close to show how special it was. The color was off the charts orange and the twirl it had was breathtaking. It looked fake. Such personality, not boring at all like so many brugs can get once you get over the thrill at the sheer number of blooms because they have the identical bloom hang down 100 times staring at you.

Here is some type of solanum they had growing like weeds in the back of their greenhouses. I had never seen one with a bloom with such colors. Anyone know this one?

Shucks, the picture was badly blurred because I think my heart was beating so fast when I saw the colors. I was having a huge fight inside me: to grab one or not to. They were so invasive but yet so beautiful, I really had to fight over it. it is so hard being me sometimes.
