Here's another Brug i grew from seed i received from Vicki Harding! I'm not going to compost it just yet! I give all my seedlings nick names and this one is B.'Ballykissangel'! It's a cream-white colour and I like the long calyx!

PS: BTW..is anyone else finding that all the abbreviations are starting to get a tad confusing?
that's got a very nice shape, which cross was it from, supposedly?
Very nice.
This will bug me all day if I don't ask - why do I know that name?? It keeps rolling around in my head.
It is beautiful great shape of flower, I love it.
That's it! thanks
Liz, I could just see your mind working. :-) Another nice looking brug, Bruno.
I like that one as well.
Bruno,
Very nice delicate color. Looks like a keeper to me...oh and the name is just perfect!
Thanks everyone....Yeah, I live less than a mile away from Bally K! The villages real name though is Avoca! Maybe i'll hang on to this one then! I actually really love it...I was just afraid to say so cause it's just another white! It's my strongest smelling brug! It's an x candidida type flower, isn't it? I'll ask vicki if she kept record of the cross!

Very lovely. I love white ones! (pink ones too LOL)
I just like this one. I would say its an x candida or a hybrid looking simir to x candida. Lovely shape also. I have started to appreciate the whites. We have many colored around here, so next year we like to fill in whites inbetween them to understreach the beauty of both kinds. I like the way of their silent glow in the semi-darkness and their light under the moon. We have four to five white suaveolens and just love them as much as we love L`Amour and Hertzenbrücke. The x insignis we have are lovely too. Their long narrow tubes. Their funnelform and the edge, that is flat as on a hat. *LOL* I like Cumbaya most of all.
The more I look at this tree, the more I came to like it. It beats all the double pinks, but equals Monikas new dark pink singles.
Bruno, sometimes my brain won't transfer those letters to names, but I just take some time and soon it will come to me. If it doesn't, I just ask.
Very pretty. Sometimes I have to think a while before I know what they are.
'Bally K' is in full bloom now! The whole plant including the corolas are just so big and sturdy looking! I've crossed it to 'EP','P&C','Dr.S' and when i get the chance i'll pollinate it with I.'Rosea'.
I've also pollinated EP with I.Rosea to see if i can produce some nice pink hybrids! Even more interesting would be to cross One of Monikas RK X EP hybrids to I.'Rosea' but it'll be a few years till i get the chance! :o(
edit: BTW...is there any nice coloured hybrids available that are similar to Bally K with the long one slit calyx? There's probably lots...i just never noticed them before!
Talk soon,

Bruno sounds like you made some nice crosses. If the plant flowers prolifically I think it would be good to use as a mother plant...just my humble opinion.
