Golfito-Don M.

BWARD, as you requested.

The pic looks doctored a little, but it has very dark distinct leaves, different from most brugs.

Gloria,
This cutting also came from Don M. by way of Larry in NC.

Then you should have the real one. Do you think the weather etc. might make them somewhat different? I will hang onto any brugs that bloom a little different than they are supposed to, as next blooms may be better.

it looks like a design on fabric...........so pretty

Is it that dark red? WOW

G.
Is yours getting ready to bloom yet? If this one I have blooms the same the rest of the year off to the compost pile it goes.

That's sad, please give it a chance. No mine had spidermites, Ed sprayed it, in 95 degrees and it went downhill. Just now coming back, so won't be blooming, unless a miracle happens. Has it been hot and dry there, also?? Air is terribly dry, burning up my chenile plant(red blooms), not been a very good summer.

G.
LOL....I'm gonna give it till frost.

Whoopee! A reprieve!

Doesent look like Isabella to me!I love it!

Thanks for sharing the photo. The flower is wonderful!!! Larry sent me a cutting and it has buds ready to open. I hope it is the same one but my leaves are not that dark. Could be our heat.

It's so pretty. I really like it.

Hibiscus,
Where did you get that picture of the Golfito?

I don't know where she got the picture, but it is the same one I saw on a web site explaining how Don M. Collected this brug. That was last year and now I can't find the site. I sure wish it would look like this is real life.

Golfito is just stunning. Larry also crossed this one, but I don't know what he crossed it with.

Shirley,
Here's the site.

Glory, I've been looking for that site for months, just trying to find that darn picture. Guess I'm going to have to figure out how to search a little better. Thanks.

Hibiscus, thanks for sharing this Brug historical picture. *lol*

Glory, thanks for the link. I once ha it in my favorites, but lost it and couldn`t find this site. :-)

Bward, i will be amazed if golfito is really a different brug.

the site says you can buy cuttings from him. has anyone?

That site is old. I did get a cutting from him this spring, but it was a trade. He is a good friend of my friend Renee in Milwaukee.

SO you have this one Brugie? How is it doing for you? Or have you already said and I missed it?

Has grown nicely and is just beginning to get buds. It was fairly late when I got it, but I think I will see bloom this year.

SO excited !Can't wait to see it!
