Any one have orange sunshine???
Hey Linda!! We need a brug wish list around here!
I have been trying to find Versi Orange. It was the best for me... non stop blooms and killer perfume!! Good Luck : )
Linda,
Ask Kenboy, he might have some.
I do have OS and I took bunches of cuttings some time back. They are growing well but I am almost sure the have the dreaded SB. So I am looking for OS myself.
What is SB Kenboy?
Stem Blight.
SB is Stengelbrand, aka Stranglebrand, a fungalvirus (a fungus infected with a virus). It shows up in old leaf nodes as distorted dead tissue with black flecks or rings. There is no cure and spreads from Brug to Brug. Any Brug can get it, but Brugs with suaveolens in their ancestry are especially susceptible. Yellows and golden yellows are more prone to get it although pinks can get it too. Brugs that have suaveolens in their ancestry usually show part or most of the corollar neck and tend to have full wide skirts.

The only solution if you find a Brug has Stengelbrand is to toss the Brug, pot and all into the trashcan. Sterilize any equipment that might have come in contact with it before using them on any other Brug.

I would like to have an OS also. I did get a start of Versi Orange from someone this fall, but I can't remember who it was from. :-( If I remember, I'll let you know
I'm discovering the more and more I read in this forum, the bigger my want list gets. Considering I have room for maybe 4-5 more (or up to 8 if I opt not to grow some things) Brugs, this could be a problem lol.
