I took this this morning. On the left is brugcrazy's beauty, right is Bert playing hard to get. LOL
Aurea multihybrid blooms
so cute Liz and Brugcrazy!
both have been classified as aurea multihybrids by Monika. But the shape of the bloom on Jeanne's is different from everything else I have.
Tonny, I got that plant about 7 years ago. It was supposed to be pink. It came from a speciality nursery in Victoria. Some man brought in a few cuttings. It took years to bloom because it froze back to the ground the first year. Then it took about 4 years to finally Y and bloom. But it blooms for months and months. It never gets bugs either. Didn't I send you a piece of it in your care package?
Brugcrazy, I don`t know. I have to wait for flowers to see, if its there. What did you write on the tag? The others you send is coming around pretty good now. They are potted up in smaller pots and in the ground and its a joy to watch just how they like putting their roots out in the dirt, drink nutrition heavily in from the pots and grow and grow. btw. I like the names. *l* Bert and Ernestine. I think it remind me of Bernstein. :-)
Cala, the cuttings from you is also doing great. These are living next to Brugcrazys plants and grow as well as them. One white suaveolens has Y`ed and I can`t wait to see the flower. *lol* You must not think I have gone crazy talking about looking forward to a white suav., but I have never actually seen it "live", so even if many of you have grown it for years its my first time. *smile* I hope you bear with me, when the time comes, where I start posting it from different angles.
I just read up on some of my older posts (a week is VERY old here in the Brug forum *lol*) and saw, that I left some answers hanging and left a few loose ends. I will start tie them up and together tomorrow.

Tonny, Bert and Ernie are names from Sesame Street - a children's TV program.
Liz, I remember them now! *l* I used to watch them as a kid, when mom bought out first color tv. *lol* At that time we could also for the first time watch German tv channels and on channel three, there was this kids series every night at six PM "Sesam Strasse". *lol* I must have been seven or eight back then. :-) I don`t think, that I have changed much since then, but the mirrows! *lol* They have started to look a bit older. Must get me some new ones fast!
Brugcrazy, I will go and check tommorrow. I also follow the leaf type development on Dr. Suess and JO closely. It is very interesting. Now, where the really start to grow fast they look different from the first time.
Liz,
Nice photo. You can really see the flowers. Flowers are great too!!
