Beautiful yellow.

Does anyone think this is "Charles Grimaldi"?, that's the only tag I could find..
I would also love to trade some cuttings of this one for a coral or pink colored one. Preferably coral. Thanks.

Larkie,
Yours doesn't look like Charles Grimaldi. The shape of the flower is shaped more like a funnel and the calx appears to have only one split and lobe. It's difficult to see what the leaf edges look like.
Charles Grimaldi has trumpet shaped flowers. Its calx is split into 3 to 5 lobes and the leaf edges are supposed to be smooth, not serrated nor wavy.

In order not to contribute to the growing number of mislabeled Brugs when a name tag is lost, it is best not to try to ID it. If you have to call it something, please call it a NOID (No ID). There are way too many Brugs that look so similar that they can't be identified from a single photo or even through a single flush. A lot of factors influence the color, size and sometimes shape of the flower that it becomes impossible to ID it once the tag is lost or has faded to the point where you can't read the label. Because Brug lovers are so generous and share cuttings, mislabeling is compounded. When you send out cuttings, send them out without a name tag or call it a NOID, but don't use the name Charles Grimaldi.
I can sympathize with you, I have had to re-label formerly named Brugs with the infamous NOID because I lost the label or it faded and couldn't be read. I'm trying new labels that supposedly react with the graphite in a #2 pencil to form a permanent bond. Time will tell. Meanwhile, I also use a Dynamo labeler that can emboss the name on aluminum tape.
Thanks Bettydee,
NOID is fine with me.. lol

How pretty!
Thanks..
Used to have all colors, now just this one. After looking at all these pics, I hay have to start some more up again.. Really miss my pinks and coral colored ones.

Bettydee, when I make labels I put the name not only on the top of the tag, but on the bottom, the part that goes in the ground, as well. I use sharpies, but they fade after awhile on top. The part at the bottom stays nice and dark. I use mini blinds cut up, and they work great and last a long time.
Larkie, your yellow brug is pretty. I have only 3 brugs, and only one has bloomed so far, a very pretty pink one. I just love it. I would be happy to give you a cutting if you want. I have never done brug cuttings before, so I'm not sure how to proceed or how to package for shipping. You don't need to give me a cutting of your yellow one. I don't want too many, as I don't have much space or time to care for them.
