Vixen was one of the few named rooted cuttings I was able to salvage late last winter when the table she was on was overturned. She didn't grow much this past summer. It was so hot and dry most of my Brugs didn't grow much. The bloom is pale compared to a summer bloom, but that's OK. I finally have a bloom from her! Her aurea ancestry shows. The bloom is horizontal right now. The calx is split into a number of lobes. Her grandmother on both sides, maternal and paternal, is Rothkirch. Too bad she didn't get those long Rothkirch tendrils. I can't wait until she blooms this summer.
