I am glad you are actively becoming an expert on brugs. We really need one around here.

OK, I just did the gallery rounds looking at Maya and Peaches and Cream photos. I had not heard that about the turkey neck before nor had I noticed them being different. But by Jove, I think you may have it.

I had only heard that one differentiates between them by the way the bloom hangs, one nods more. Well on mine, it seemed to have both to some degree.

I added to the confusion also because when I got mine it was tagged Peaches and Cream. A big nursery here sells 5 gallon 4 feet plants of it. So I sent out some as P & C. I was convinced by bruggers on Dave's that it was really Maya because it is such an aggressive grower and P & C is a slow grower I was told. So I changed its name to Maya. LOL And then I supplied tons of cuttings in an experiment of how it would grow all over the US. So if it is P & C. OPPS! LOL But it looks like I have some neck showing.

Bert's leaves are lovely!! THANKS
