identification questions

there are a couple of brugs listed that i saw and want to make sure they are named properly...

Charles Grimaldi is shown as yellow-does this one turn orangish or remain a solid yellow?

Another one is listed as versicolor pink and FADES to yellow- anyone know the correct name for this one? is this a true versi pink?

thanks

joydie,
i'm not even going to try to identify a charles grimaldi. anything that i have in my yard that remotely resembles a cg/drs i have fondly started calling Dr. Grimaldi.
as far as the versi pink, i dont think is a brug that turns pink TO yellow. my frosty pink starts out white, turns yellow and then pink.
dont know if i was much help,
jen

bward and eclipse are the only people i can think of that are familiar with versicolor pink. all my CGs (many) turned out to be DrS......

Gosh MsJen,

Now you have me wondering if this is really a suaveolens pink although the site said otherwise. The flower shape certainly looks like a suaveolens. It seems that colors listed are the same, but on the site the color change is in the reverse order....hmmmmmm. This greenhouse claims they've grown brugs for over 15 years.

joydie, i am, by far, NOT an expert at brugs. but i can say that i havent seen, or heard, of one that bloomed pink and then changed to yellow.
i also hae ep and it blooms and dies pink.
out of curiosity, what site are you referring to?

MsJen,
Here is the link.

They are in Kirkland, Quebec and they do ship plants to the U.S., in fact Marilena indicated that most of their orders come from the U.S. and locally in Kirkland.


I never thought to ask what other Brugs they have.

Versicolor pink always starts pale yellow and the next morning after opening turns pink.Not the other way around. :-)
Charles Grimaldi does take on an orangish glow in some weather conditions..out west it usually is a gold..not yellow color.Everything depends on temps,water,feed,humidity,etc.Color in brugs can be variable.

Kyle, MsJen and Monika,

Thanks-this is definately a multihybrid Pink as Monika indicated with strong suaveolens influence and not a true versicolor.

I want just a few correctly labelled plants. I'm eager to pollinate over the winter when I have blooms.
