Hello all. Now, this brug standard of mine has decided to bloom. Anyone care to guess which one it might be?
As always, any thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks a bunch!

For some reason, I can't see your pic, Deb, but I did Google others. It looks similar but I didn't see any of those bright yellow buds like mine has. Or did I just miss them?
Thanks!
Its sure very very nice one. great color.
Sorry here's the pic I have>
Whatever its name is, it sure is 'yummy'... both of yours are beautiful.
debnes_dfw_tx how do your brugs grow in Ft. worth? I know your climate is about as hot as mine but I may be a little drier. I would love any tips you have,... obviously, you know what you are doing. I am just starting out with brugs.
Thank you in advance for any 'pointers'

In this pic the Cupids are newly bloomed.. as days go on they get darker in color. I am not definate on your cultivar, but it looked an aweful lot like this one. Yes they are yummy!! All the way around. I find that here in Fort Worth keeping them shaded half the day helps a lot. The climate is very dry, and they have startled me several times by driving up to them wilted. I quickly bottom water and they spring back.
I am starting a new group of them in the back yard around the kitchen.. It will be more shaded with dappled sunlight, and right beside the water faucet.
They will bloom without a lot of full sunlight, they are REAL easy to propagate by cuttings, the fragrance is stunning, and ...oh yeah, they're beautiful! Pretty much all I know about Brugs so fa myself.. LOL!
Now ya know twice as much as me:-)

My first Brug, bloomed in late fall here, you can see the autumn leaves there behind. I cut the whole plant down before the first hard freeze. It was really huge, and I clipped a lot of it off and stuck it in a big vase of water. It rooted fast inside and I potted in January. They grow well inside, even in a cool gaage they will bloom... >>
Looks like a Frosty type to me, a suaveolens. There are so many similar ones out there it is impossible to know which one. Sorry! But I am glad you have achieved bloom!
Great pics, debnes_dfw_tx!
