I'd be willing to put together a list of all the currently used abbreviations that we use a lot here. If you list them here, I'll type it up for anyone that wants it.
CG = Charles Grimaldi
DS = Dr Seuss
PB = Pink Beauty
CDW = Candida Double white
CS = Creamsickle
VP = Versicolor Peach
JP = Jean Pasko (didn't Kyle say it's a k?)
IG = Insignis Gold
SG = Solid Gold
BL = Becca Lynn
SW = Sauveolens White (we need a different one for Shredded white, or type it out? )
or should we just always get in the habit of typing single every one out? at least at the beginning of a thread? opinions??
abbreviation list
Hi tiG, that list would be VERY useful, especially as I am not yet on a first name basis with all of these Brugs. Good idea typing the entire name out at the beginning of a thread, I would imagine there are 'lurkers' here who would appreciate it! My thought on "SW", which has two possibilities: maybe use the capital initials for a cultivar (named hybrid), and lower case for a species...
so:
SW = 'Shredded White'
sw = suaveolens white
The full spelling of the Brug in question at the beginning of the post would also help clarify this.
Just my thoughts... John
tiG . . I think typing the name out at the beginning of a new thread is a good idea. Your list above is very helpful for our current members who do not know abbreviations for brugs, but there will always be new members coming on board and I think typing it out in the beginning of the thread will take care of all future questions. JMHO
how about JN for Jessie Noel?
P&C= Peaches and Cream
JY= Jamaican Yellow
M&H= Milk N Honey
EP= Ecuador Pink
KP= Kyle's Pink
SN= Super Nova
HG= Herrenhauser Garten
FP= Frosty Pink
JN= Jessie Noel
VO= versicolor Orange
TS= Tropical Sunset
SV= Suaveolens Variegata
KGW= Kyle's Giant White

snow, it's Kyle's Pink
keep em coming as you think of them
Thanks tiG. CRC is acting up today. :)
Dr. Suess, Jessie Noel, Charles Grimaldi, KBS, Versicolor Peach, Isabella, US Conn. Treasurers, Double Peach, and I'll keep thinking. Thanks tiG. This will be a big help to a lot of people.
Do we write out those with just one name?
Thanks for the info everyone.
Thanks!! There is still something more I would love, if someone has the time. LOL I'd like to know what type each is, like Arborea, Versicolor, etc. I posted a while back about what can or cannot be crossed and the short answer was 'this type can be crossed with this or not with this', etc., but I don't know which are which. :) I don't want much, huh??
BS, I think that's a good request. I'm still confused/still learning about the different types. (no comments about my perpetual state of confusion, lol)
That good idea tiG
I would like to see a site where one could type in the name of a brug, such as Jessie Noel, for example....and all available information about it would pop up:) Guess that is asking a lot though:)
I am always interested in it's origin, variety, growth habits, color (using a pic with TRUE color showing), fragrance, etc. etc.
Owen
if we keep adding to the database, that can happen.
I ain't gonna live that much longer:)
That's what you said last year Owen and you're still alive and kicking. LOL
SHW shredded white?
PGTW is another abbreviation.
guess:)

you are a doll Ma Vie!!
great job MaVie!!!
no not a doll. just me :). i worked on this list the other night.
Wow thanks! This will make it real easy Ma Vie.
u're welcome Tlynn. i wished i knew more though. hopefully someone can come up with a much better and thorough list.
well, that's kindof why we started this thread, hoping to get input from everyone. I doubt there's one person that can name them all!
MVR, I only came to this thread because I saw your name. Been busy? Moved or moving? I don't dare get into Brugsmania, note spelling, as I can see at a glance I am way outclassed and crowded out before I scratch the surface. Those pink ones almost snagged me, might yet, but I don't plan to try to remember the technical stuff. Ya'll keep good lists, and label anything I beg off of you next year.
Aimée, soon as i get settled down after the move, i can share some with u. i only have a few but they are properly ID'ed. i have some i am presently rooting. lmk.
You are too kind, MVR, and I am touched once again by your generous heart. We will pursue this further when things settle down for you, but I need to get the chickens in the spring so the grasshoppers won't eat everything. They almost killed the two purple ones Cala gave me.
Great list MVR. I printed it off because some times I have a brain freeze and can't put the abbreviation with a name. You did a good job.
Aimee,if you have a setting hen I'll send you hatching eggs!
Aimee, Let us know in the spring when you're ready for some.We love making new Brug addicts. LOL
MaVie, You did a wonderful job. Thank you.
