I know I have showed this one already but this morning when i woke up i noticed that it started to turn a deeper shade of cream.... almost a soft peach it that cuba?
cuba?
Cuba is supposed to be a soft coral/apricot. The corolla neck doesn't show much below the calx in the two DG photos. Your bloom has a much longer neck. There are so many look alikes that it's almost impossible to tell from a photo. Did you purchase it or was it given to you as a Cuba? If the source was eBay, you don't always get what you purchase. When I was first bitten by the Brug bug, I went nuts and bought one if I didn't have it. Later, I realized that not all the "named" plants I had were what they were supposed to be. They are now NOIDs and I enjoy them for the bloom and fragrance, but I have dropped the name. There is enough confusion about names without my adding to the confusion. I'm still new enough to be unsure whether flower shape is influenced by weather the way color is.
yes I know and it is turning a soft apricot color and it is even more so now...
Ahhhhhh! Let's see another shot if it!
Here you go..........
Here's a picture of Cuba taken in 04 before there were so many lookalikes.
Nowadays there are several that look very similar.
Hope this helps.
Both of the plants look very similar. Looks like yours, pensacolagarden, is definitely colouring up!
This is a seedling I grew this year.. the leaves hide the calyx, but just an example :) So hard to pinpoint without some kind of name from the seller.
Take a look at the neck between the corolla and the calx. In Snowhermit's Cuba photo, you can see a tiny bit of the neck on the shorter side of the calx.
Pensacolagarden, your photos show a flower with a very long neck. While the color may be similar, the shape of the flower is not. I don't think your Brug is Cuba.
