This is the most fragrant brug I have. I love it. It blooms all the time too.
Versi Orange
Love it!
Cala, we would name the color apricot. Beautiful flowers.
Does it have another name Monika?
Only few have names: Kaskade, Apricot Queen, Weisse Posaune, Melone, Pride of Hannover. versi breeding requires a good climate and a warm winterquarter.
So beautiful and wish I could smell this flower. I am curious what it smell like, I hope to get this cutting someday.
It smells like gardenias.
Cala . . it is so pretty and I cannot think of a better scent than gardenia. Wow!! I can imagine it now.
Cala, is this the one I sent a cutting of? If it is, could I maybe get a cutting back this fall? Mine has been so badly attacked by the mites that I don't think I'm going to be able to save it. This is one of my most favorite brugs. If you don't have material available then, that is okay.
Cala, is that more of a peach or is it orange? I love it.
It's more orange than the peach versi. It's creamcicle(the kind from the grocery) color. I think I have some started, if not, I've got 3 big plants that I can chop on.
Meant to mention, those mites are terrible this year. Finally gave up spraying them and started cutting the tops out.

Cala, I've done everything. Started with washing, systemic, spraying, systemic again, and now Cygon. The poor thing is probably so toxic it will never come around.
yeah, it's fine to be able to cut the top out when they've Y'd!!! I have gotten rid of all of them but one poor plant, stuck off to itself, warned it better not share them or it's the dump for it!
I just ordered some Cinnamite for killing mites. I hope it will take care of them. Cala - if I get the mites on Ocre under control I'm gonna send it to you...Okay?
Poppysue, OK. I hope it works. DH found some stuff for fungus gnats today. I should have had him pick up more mite spray.
Avid is the only thing that worked for me when mine had mites. It's really expensive but it got rid of the mites in the GH this past spring.I had a bad case of mites which spread through the GH and after two sprays of Avid they were gone.
I guess I'll have to break down and spray the brugs with it. We use it in the greenhouse.
Holy Cow!! I just looked it up - I GUESS it's expensive!!

Yep, it's expensive, but it lasts a long time.
Cala, is that what I used? whatever it was, it worked!
There's a cheaper place to get it. I didn't pay that much. I'll try to find the name.
Poppy, Look up Rosemania on Google. That's where I got it.They are in Franklin, TN. They had it in the 8 oz size.
Cala, if you have any cuttings left , I would love one!
I am versi-less in San Leandro!
Kell I'll check today for versicolors that I have rooted. I know I have an EP rooted for you.
DH said we pay less than a hundred for a pint of Avid. It lasts all year.
very nice of you Cala..............
I took Versi Orange cuttings today. I thought I had some rooted. Of course they could be somewhere in the "Jungle".
OMG...............I love that one!!!

Thanks Susie. I really appreciate your whacking your plant for cutting material. I'll let you know if mine makes it, but right now......well, I don't even want to tell you what it looks like. It isn't a pretty picture.
