Yes, I know they are different....some slight difference in the splits in the Calyx--or some such thing.....
Funny--but when I bought my "Maya" at a Street festival here, it was a new, little plant in a 4" pot.
The grower was from PA and it was labeled "Peach Parfait".....

I proceded to post on DG and a year or so later, after it had bloomed, I took a picture and someone here ID'd it as a "Maya". So I contacted the guy I bought it from at the festival, and told him of the correct name....
He was gracious, but said he had been growing this Brug for 6 years and had always called it "Peach Parfait".....
End of story......

roots-----I agree with Ken that Fall is the better time to get cuttings--for all the reasons ken listed....
Besides--a cutting is easier to mail than a rooted plant....YOU root it!!!

And--BTW--I do not feed my Brugs all that much....just lazy.....Watering--YES!!! Daily! Almost 2gal. a day.

I WOULD like to know the name of the pink one--as it has promises of growing every bit as big as the Maya.
It is already close to 5' tall and 4' wide--and, by my configuring, It is in it's 3rd year from a cutting...
Not sure, as I got it from someone else already rooted and growing....

For possible ID--here is a closer up picture of it's blooms.....

Sorry! I AM long-winded.......:o) Gita
