My Brug is blooming! YAY! The buds start out yellow and last that way until the 2nd day of blooming...
ID Please
Blooms last night (1st day of blooming)
Blooms this morning (2nd day).
Edited to add: You can see the buds in the background. It's the same Brug plant.

I'm sorry, but it can't be done. There are so many look alikes available that it's impossible to get it right. Enjoy her beautiful blooms. She needs to remain a NOID ( no identification). You can give her a pet name, but if you share cuttings with anyone, please say it has no ID. To pass along names can only add to the confusion.
She's very very pretty!
Well, darn, but Thank You! I think she is a beauty too. Too bad about the ID though. I'll think of an appropriate name for her.
Please don't, it will just add to the confusion. Just call her your NOID pink.
I think I am just an old time gardener (I know I am) . My grandmother started teaching me the love of gardening when I was a toddler next door to her. The hoya forum is this same way about names. Evidently there is some good reason as I don't even keep names on my 8 gro light stands of african violets, sinningias, columneas plus all the species seeds I grow ordered from Brazil. If I am lucky to have some pretty plants with names they get entered in the annual AVSA show and those without names go to very deserving loving 'old ladies' at the church.
If I remember to mark them, I do and , if I forget, they are still beautiful and your brug is gorgeous. You can certainly send cuttings to this old grandma in exchange for some hoyas (about 30 different kind) who don't have names.
I think you should call her 'gorgeous Angel' :oD because she is :oD
Very very much like my mystery brug, opens white, overnight turns coral-pink, and stays good and strong for a second night.
One difference from other brugs is that the flowers aren't hanging straight down, they're trying to hold their heads up (haha)
Mine doesn't bloom all at once, either. Buds just keep on setting. I am marathonning them as to food and water to see if they'll set blooms continuously. Lot of time and attention!
Aren't they the most glorious flowers and fragrance!
