My very first brug buds

Pinellas Park, FL(Zone 9b)

I was hoping beyond hope than I might get a brug bloom on one of my brugs I got cuttings from last year. Well, I was out watering yesterday and lo and behold. Not one bud but 2. One looks to be yellowish with variegated foliage. The other is not showing color yet and has normal foliage. I don't know the names of either of these two. TIme will tell if they open fully.
Hopefully, someone can ID them for me.
Here is the one with normal foliage.

The one with variegated foliage appears to be Maya. The other one will probably have to bloom before being ID'ed.

Another view. It has an unbelievably wonderful scent. You don't even have to be right on it to smell it.

Yep. They always start out white and turn peachy color. It doesn't look like VP, because of the way the blooms hang and it definitely isn't Snowbank. I'll eat my words if it turns out to be something else though. I'm never afraid to apologize for making a mistake.

Congrats on your first blooms! It just gets better!!

Brugie,
How many varieties of variegated brugs are there?

I'll start a list and others can add to it.

White Suaveolens Variegata
Maya
Peaches & Cream
Snowbank


There are a couple of green on green variegated brugs too.

Here are the lastest pics. The bloom is definitely getting a peach blush to it. You can barely see it in the first photo but it is more noticible on the second photo. I do hope it's Maya.

It's looking more and more like the Maya I saw pics of in the plants database.

Jan...congratulations on your first blooms!! They are looking good!!

Jan, it looks like she's in your front yard by the driveway. Anyone asking to look and smell yet? Charge 'em per sniff and it's extra for Jimmy Durante class sniffers. :)

Fortunately, the driveway is long enough to keep people away but you can smell it from at least 4 ft off. My brugs are all in pots until I decide on a permanent placement for them.
