This is Sommerzauber. It's a Monika Gottschalk cross of Fandango x KBS...excellent warm weather brug having done well for several growers here in florida. Color can vary from yellow to orange depending on the weather condition...supposedly she gets darker in the cooler temps.. Blooms are large and fragrance is a mild citrusy scent
Another pic
Absolutely gorgeous Gary !
Here are Pictures of Sommerzauber Dec 31, 2010 when it got extremly cold in Florida she had her darkest color yet, shows great the just opening color of the one Bud and the color on the fully developed triple Blossom of Sommerzauber
different angle
She is darker today but there is no way that she will reach tose cool weather temps that Christa is talking about...it's going to be 87F today
I get the best colour here November -December when nights are cold and days still sunny and warm.
Theres a discussion on GW about this lovely one. I like the different colours it is capable of. I hope it makes its way to Canada eventually. Beautiful photographs!
Is it possible to buy one from a grower in Florida and how would I find out who that would be.
Thank you.
The ones that have been on on ebay are grown and shipped from a florida grower...a very reliable grower
I just got mine. I bought it from "beloved" on e-Bay, but it was shipped from Florida. It was so well packed that it arrived with 2 buds just about to open.
mine is just about to bloom again...she's dropping a few skirts....it's just been so darn hot....i would be surprised to see any color at all
Here she is blooming again. I'm seeing bright yellows early in the morning and more of an Apricot later in the day.......These pics were taken 2 hours apart.....Fascinating brug to grow...not to mention beautiful too

You are doing fantastic with Sommerzauber Gary, and she is proven to the non Believers she is definitely a Florida well growing Brug considering the 90F temperatures you been having, very nice flush. It is also great that you are showing her color variation.
Great color!. My two flowers finally opened. I looooooved them. I don't know why I didn't take a photo. When it gets large enough to prune, I'd like to try growing it in the ground for at least one season.
mine is in the ground
