This is the smallest cutting I've ever had bloom. Bernstein is an aurea hybrid by Dorothea Langenberg. I wish I know who the parents were. Aureas are among my favorite Brugs. The bloom color is paler during winter. Here is what the blooms should look like earlier in the year.

The bud to the left of the bloom is also from a Bernstein cutting. The cutting is even smaller. I've raised the thermostat in the greenhouse to 50ºF this year and my Brugs seem to be healthier.
