This is a great Brug, though not ID'ed. It was obtained from Pepper's Greehouses (a.k.a. Accents For Home and Garden). It was purchased this summer and has just started blooming in a container outdoors. The flowers are quite large and wide, deep yellow and fragrant. Sold as suitable for outdoors in zone 9b and up, I would think it might also do well in zone 8. Also noteworthy is flower's very long and twisted tendrils as this first picture emphasizes.

This photo is more of an overview of the plant and the size it's obtained in one growing season. The fully open flowers are over 9" wide, counting the tendrils. Looks like the peak bloom will be about New Year's day.
