Brug Hybrid `White Jean Pasko'

This is a white hybrid Clone of Jean Pasko x Betty Marshall
a large, sometimes dinner plate sized flower with a heavy Fragrance and very good substance..

Very pretty. I see what you mean about the inflated calyx.

Poppysue..Jean Pasko hybrids tend to have that inflated calyx..one way to be sure your plant is a Jean Pasko..Look for the calyx

To die for flower shape! It beats x insignis "Cumbay" with several lenghts. There is two things that can make my pupils grow to cover my entire eyes. A wellshaped Brug flower is one of them.

That is beautiful Kyle, wish you would give her a name.

Tonny, this is one fertile seed and pollen parent too!

Oh my - another beauty! I'm just loving every minute of all these brug pictures.

Eclipse - what do you mean by "Clone"? I've always thought that cloning was reproducing a plant by vegetative growth (like cutting or division). Is there something I'm not getting? ... is there more to it than that?

Poppysue, yes a "clone" means a duplicate of something. Sometimes plants will put out a limb that is different, i.e. leaves or blooms a different color, then it's a "sport" not a clone. A seed from a parent plant isn't a clone because the genes are only half from the mother plant so it's genetic make up isn't identical to the mother plant.

I understand all that. But what about the butterscotch hybrid? Eclipse has clone #1 and clone #2. Wouldn't they be the same coming from the same mother plant?

Maybe he is referring to photo #1 and #2. Just guessing here.

Looked all over to find the reference to clones 1 and 2. Now I see why you are confused. I am too.

poppysue, apparently seeds from the same pod can be different, ie, versicolor type one plant and insignis other, different colors, leaf shapes, etc.

Well I'm just a little confused. I know he said that #2 had smaller flowers than #1. Maybe arlene is right ... different seeds from the same pod.

Wow, that is one wide eye or inflated Corolla. I like that. Can you stick your whole hand in that to pollinate that one or does it just give that appearance in a picture. Very nice, of couse add some tendril lenght and a brilliant pink...can you get that one in double as well for us? I know, I am very demanding. Thats one reason I like the suaveolens type gene's....

I too am confused by use of the word clone.

I am also confused by the different spelling of some brugs....Jean Pasko vs. Jean Pasco, Jamaican Yellow vs. Jamaica Yellow, Dr. Seuss vs. Dr. Seus, and there may be others that do not readily come to mind. I have no idea what the correct spellings are, since I have seen both used quite often.....maybe I am just being too picky.....not trying to aggrevate anyone:)

Poppysue they are siblings from the same cross so we refer to them as clones or Variations of the same genetic cross.I guess to save confusion I should refer to them as `Forms' instead of clones.Less confusing to others...LOL

Thanks Eclipse. You cleared up the confusion - LOL! We're learning a lot from you and glad you're nice enough to share you experience.

I've never hybridized before and never heard it called that!! I think we are all learning a lot. Now that we know what you're talking about, call it clone and we will understand.(sure sometimes wish I'd taken Botany instead of Chemistry)

I alway thought that when you took a cutting and rooted that the new plant was a clone???
