Fred.. You might want to get with Chocolate Brug ~William.. I know he was having some issue with the registration process.I'm not sure if it has been resolved ..If not I know he would truly appreciate it.

Kylie

Thanks Kylie, I'll drop him a note.

I have one I definitely want to register. Had it 3 yrs now.
This was taken the year before last at Halloween next to a red Twizzler candy. The inner skirt gets darker than the outer. The photo doesnt do it justice but you know how red the cherry Twizzlers are lol. It also starts out white and darkens and there will be several blooms in different stages of color at the same time. It does really good in our heat and humidity. Really huge flowers

Here is the color when it first opens

I also might want to register this one if it blooms darker this spring. It got a lot darker toward the end of fall this year. Almost pure orange. Had it 2 yrs this is the first time it bloomed last fall because it got froze back so much last winter lol.

Lenette Both of those are winners and would be an awesome edition to any collection..specially mine..LOL ;0)
Congrats Girl!!

Kylie

I agree with Kylie, both of those are beauties and are worthy of registering.

Congrats!

Fred

Lynette both are beautiful but that one with the cherry red inner skirt is gorgeous! I've only made one cross that I thought about registering but decided against it. It's been blooming for about 5 years and occasionally I'll get a single color bloom, either white or peach. The single color flowers don't happen often but enough that I don't think it's worth registering. I recently saw one that has similar colors that was registered. I didn't catch the name or what the cross was. This is it from last season, "the season of the slug". lol I have to look thru my pics for an uneaten fully opened flower.

That's pretty Karyn. Does it have a name? I think that you should register it. Some brugs bloom both double and/or single and I'm not just talking about in certain enviornmental situations.
I had Rosalla for 2 years and it only bloomed single. I didn't really believe people when they told me they got doubles off thiers at times.
Then the 3rd year, all of a sudden, it started to bloom double every once in a while. Now it has been throwing doubles and singles in the greenhouse all winter this year.
A trait like that will just make yours more special and worth keeping around.
Further, I think some of these brugs that will bloom both ways have a special gene for it. You should work with that and breed it to more of your brugs and get possibly seventually get something that will bloom double and single consistantly on the same plant.

Karyn... OKAY that pic sucks BUT .. The dual color on that is Awesome! Have you trialed it in the heat or anything? Who is the Cross?

Kylie

I can't remember if I've ever sent cuttings of this one to others to try growing or not. If I did I never followed thru. Keeping data is another one of my problems with registering a new variety. I'm terrible at keeping records. This was from the first cross I ever made, Hawaiian Double White x L'Amour. I believe that I grew out 20 seeds to blooming size and only ended up with 3 that I considered keepers. This being the only one really different from others I'd seen. I was under the impression that if a brug didn't produce stable blossoms that it shouldn't be registered but you're right. I have plenty of named varieties that throw the occasional "defective" blooms. I still have this plant and might reconsider.

Lenette and Karyn, wow those are super special crosses, congrats! Definitely register them before someone else comes up with similar crosses and then you'll want to kick yourself for not doing it first.

Eloise I saw a registered brug with similar colors last year so maybe I'm already too late. I've also had some really nice passifloras from some of my crosses that I've never bothered to register. It's just not that important to me.

Hi Karyn, your brug is also a beauty. Don't let the fact that it resembles a similar brug keep you from registering it. As long as it is somewhat unique or an improvement over what is already out there, then go for it. Often brugs are registered but they are never distributed and truly established.

I frequently find single blooms on many established doubles. Just last night I pollinated a single bloom on my New Orleans Lady. My Doli is doing the opposite and currently has 3 double blooms hanging on it.

I feel for you with your battle with the slugs. I battle slugs and snails all summer down here. They thrive in our heat and humidity and unfortunately I have come to realize it is a battle I will never win.

I hope you reconsider registering your brug.

Fred

Karyn I would love to see your passi crosses sometime.
I still have that feathered blue morning glory cross lol. Still blooming in the hige style. It is a fluffy blue with a pinkish 'eye'. Not a huge seed producer but is pretty cool. I named it Blue Flamingo but haven't registered it or anything. Don't even know if there is a such thing as a MG registery. I couldn't find a society for them last time I looked.

Here is a pic of it from last summer. Come to think of it, it does throw a single every now and then just like the double brugs lol.

I think the higes cross or maybe just mutate because I have some with the same coloring as those. Mine can produce almost half singles at times and some of the singles are feathered so I have 3 different types of flowers on the same plant. I never planted a blue hige variety, just Gypsy Bride and the purple hige that begins with an M (Japanese name). I'm sure there must be some sort of MG registry, if not in the states, definitely in Japan. You might want to ask Ron or Joseph on the vines forum about it.

Fred! Does IBrugs have the ABADS registry listed .. I still have that bookmarked BUT I am sure there have been some updates..If so I would love to have it!

Kylie

ABADS is iBrugs/IBADS. ABADS merged with iBrugs last summer and in fall officially changed its name to IBADS. The list maintained on our site is a continuation of the original list that was posted on the old ABADS site.

Later this season we will introduce our new cultivar database which will be free for all to access. It has lots of cool features being built in and you will be able to easily study the brugmansia family tree.

Here is the link to the cultivar nameslist page - http://ibrugs.com/CultivarRegistration/ListsofCultivarsSpecies.aspx.

Lynette send me your email address and I'll send passie pics. Fred thanks for the link to the updated list.

Thanks Fred!!

I think that pink and red one is just stunning!

It's god to know that there is new official registering place.

The cvs with the long corolla teeth is breath taking. congrats!
