Information on these two brugs

I've seen southern belle on ebay and wanted to know if anybody knew anything about it. or is it a misnamed brug

and What about the giant white elegance. Is there actually a giant white elegance or is it called something else.

Thanks in advance.

I bought what turned out to be a very small rooted cutting of Southern Belle last fall on eBay. It bloomed a pale golden yellow over winter. The flowers were very small, but it could be that the whole plant is still about 1-1/2' tall. It didn't go completely dormant in the greenhouse and it hasn't started growing any spring growth.

I grew Southern Bell last summer. The flowers on mine were huge and a yellow/ orange color.

I have never never seen either of them that I can remember. Anyone have pictures?? Is Southern Belle one of Glory's?

Hi Kathy,

Here is a pic of the "Southern Belle" I have. This plant was only 1 1/2 feet at bloom. Sorry the pics couldn't be better.

I love that flower. I do have the southern belle , I just didn't know if it was a misnamed brug or if it actually had parent s that folks knew about, I've not heard any talk about it at all.

Kathy,it is one of Gloria Lessner's hybrids.A pod sibling to Becca Lynn,Old Glory and a couple of others.I believe it was a Whiskers-Chas Grimaldi cross.

Thanks, I got the parent information on southern belle and who the hybridizer is, now I need to verify if giant white elegance is a real brug or a misnamed one.

Thanks again
