How do you ID a Brug???

Ace, TX(Zone 8a)

I purchased my first brugs (a pink and a white) from a local nursery a few years back and have been hooked ever since. I have traded and aquired brugs here and there and have what I would say is a good collection.
My problem started with the first two. I asked the nursery for a name and they said pink and white. Big help. I did at least find out they came from Mexico.
Now as far as the rest, same thing. The only thing I have to go on is a color. NEVER A NAME :0(
How do I determine what brugs I have.
Please Help!

One good place to start is http://davesgarden.com/contest/2002/brug/ where members post photos of their brugs. Also, post a photo here on Brugmansia and Friends and ask for help. You might get several different answers but there are some very knowledgable growers here and they are always willing to help. Unfortunately, flower color can vary from climate to climate and soil to soil. Leaf shape,flower shape and seed pod is also important in identification. Good luck in your quest. We have had a number of discussions on what is Frosty Pink. I don't know if we ever figured it out. Other varieties are somewhat easier.
