Can anyone identify this Brug?

It doesn't really matter what variety it is, I'm just thrilled to have a tree. Thanks to some kind person whose name I won't mention, I've got some nice small ones, but.... well I know you all understand.

My husband and son took off for "UpNorth" ..... If you're from Michigan, you know where that is. If you travel north of the middle of the state, you call it UpNorth, like it's another "state or country". It is beautiful .....

Well, I decided since I was alone, I would do one of my favorite things ...... go greenhouse hopping.

Found a Brug "tree" marked down to $30. Just says Angel Trumpet Yellow on the tag. I couldn't resist giving the poor thing a home. (They had some pink ones too .... had to pull myself out of there before I came home with one of those as well.)

It's about 5 feet tall, not counting the pot. It is root bound, should I repot it right away?

Any ideas on it's name? Or should I just call it "Anyone's guess Yellow" ... It looks more orange to me.

Here's a picture of the bloom.

The plant got bounced around a bit in my truck, so it lost a few leaves and the bloom is wilty now. There were some with more blooms, but this one looked the best and it has quit a few buds.

It has a lovely scent .... one reason it was chosen over the pink, the pink one's didn't have much scent at all.

What a find!!!!!!
I am from Harrisville,so you live Down below to me,LOL!
I would guess Charles Grimaldi from the color,depends how old the bloom is,could be Doc Suess with a couple day old bloom.
Either way,you are one lucky Gal!!!!

One last picture of the bloom to help identify "her" if possible.

Root,

Do you know what a "Troll" is? or a "Fudgie"? and oh yes don't forget the "Yuppers"
(You pers) too (not sure I spelt that one right).

I do feel lucky today.

Sure do!!! That has good color and after seeing the leaves,I do think it is CG.

Some of the leaves have smooth edges and some are what I call serrated. Is it common for one plant to have both?

I believe it is for CG.

Thanks for all the help Rootdoctor.

TC, your tree looks great. That was a good find.

Lucky Find! and love the dog in the background.
