Betty,

Thank you so much! I knew someone expert would pop in soon.

Do you know Shirley ("brugie") from Iowa? She does nor post a whole lot any more but she was my "guiding light" in my first years of trying to learn to grow Brugs. I just saw her post in another post--and we re-connected.

Well--she always believed that this Brug of mine was a "Maya". You have just reinforced that.
From the pictures on the hyperlinks--the P&C looks too pink. Mine never got to that color.
The Maya blooms have an odd shape...mine are more "fluent" in transitioning from the calyx to the petals/tendrils (the bottom of the bloom) . More bell-shaped.....

Here's a picture of the few blooms I did get this Summer. Does this help?

I'll see if I have any more from 2005 and 2006....
