Alot of jhem seem to be similar... I'll post a few of the ones I have... [ when it's a brighter day.. I'll take some pictures ] and you can see which ones look like another ... but to start... as there's not one that looks quite like this one... and a coold gray day can't diminish it's pop.. here's Snowbank....as a child..
Gordon, have you noticed with Snowbank, the leaves are much smaller than with other brugs, or is that just me?
My Snowbank gets big, thick, fuzzy leaves. Not as big as some, but same as or bigger than a lot of others.
I love Snowbanks leaves. So much variegation!! I just moved mine up to a 15 gallon, it has been so abused.
Right now mine has big thick fuzzy leaves with swiss cheese holes from cat damage. :( I used BT for a few weeks now and the new growth looks great.. I just moved it up to a 5 gal. I LOVE her variegation.

Mine are thick and fuzzy now too, but small. Maybe too much sun? Hmm .... I'll have to move it around some and see if that makes a difference.
Somewhere I read Snowbanks does not do well in sun, so I've placed mine in filtered light. The older leaves are large, but I noticed this afternoon they have some brown edges, so I plan on taking them off tomorrow. I dislike any browning or yellowing of leaves, and remove them as soon as possible. With this brug. I feel the flowers will be secondary to the beautiful leaves if and when it blooms.

I just took this pic tonight.. it's Jamie after quite a cutting back... I like how the pic turned out.. I really like this brug. It can take our sun quite well, blooms smell divine, no real problems at all. Oh yeah, blooms are lemon yellow.
That's a very pretty brug, ZZ. : ) I bet it is beautiful with the lemon blooms. Show us a picture one day.

Jamie is a pretty brug. and one I need to find to give to my friend Jamie. I have a nice sucker growing on Jamie's Monkey Business which I will give to her on her birthday, but I would like to also give the variegated. I had 4 variegated brugs. but gave away 3 to friends who came for a visit. We start serious construction around here in two weeks so I've given away some of the larger plants. The ones I sent off were 7 or 8 feet tall as I didn't want to deal with them when the nightmare begins. Lol. Friends were delighted as the variegated was their favorite.

Thank you Lucy! Here is a pic of one of her blooms, she smells great too.
Tussee I got Jamie off ebay. I got a couple of the other variegated brugs along with her... Axel Rose & Sunsport.
Ohhhh, that is pretty. : )
I've been fighting stupid spider mites for weeks. Sometimes I think I'm getting ahead of them, but no.....here they come again. I have 4 brugs, and it's the pink one the mites love.
Oh well.....

That variegated brug is BEAUTIFUL!
SO.. Maya is on the left... looks about like Jamie in the middle.. looks about like Sunset on the right .. not much if any difference in these ... perhaps the flowers will not be the same.. Gordon
