Congrats Karyn. Beautiful, I like the 2 tone color on it. It is so nice that it doesn't matter the name, but... you can call it Mr. R or...Mrs. R :-). How does it smell?
Your culebra looks good.

Rubirosa?? I like the multi-colors --- definitely a keeper!

That is a beauty of a brug Karyn! Really love the edging of white on dark pink it has. Could it be a cross? Will be interesting to see if all the blooms are that way. My culebra seems to be hanging on (thx Brenda). It wasn't doing that well indoors, but now I just keep it outside next to miner's claim and it looks like it will make it!

Cool! Two-tone brugs!

Interesting colour dispersal on that one Karyn!

I honestly think the colors are just some sort of screw up. It's tag is in my handwriting but I don't remember anything looking like that last year. I'll have to see what the next flush looks like. There's two more branches with buds developing above that Y. I do like the two tone look though. I know it's not Rubirosa because I've never had one. Just some Rubirosa seed crosses that I've started this year.

Eloise where did you find your Miner's Claim? I lost mine a couple years ago and haven't been able to find another.

Congrats Karyn!!!
That bloom looks awesome!

A couple more opened and they are again stark white. It's such a contrast with the pink. I'll upload and post them later this evening. BTW it has a lighter fragrance then most of my other brugs and the scent doesn't seem to carry but it's a nice scent. It would be nice if it perfumed the air instead of having to stick your nose in the bloom but ya can't have everything. lol

That is very nice Karyn, Congratulations
on your Molten Blooms I love when they have
that Virus effect when they first Bloom.

Chocolate Brug

That is such a pretty bloom! My brugs are barely setting buds well just one, my dble white is barely coming back and so is the yellow one, for some reason my plants are sure slow to come back this year,I will take pictures and post over the weekend.

Those are cool colors on that one. Mine are not liking the sudden heat wave so soon, lol.

More opened and they are a solid pink. No more two tone blooms. Too bad, I liked them. I wish I'd had another variety in bloom so I could have pollinated the bicolored flowers. Oh well it's still a very nice pink. The difference in color from when it opens to the next day is fairly dramatic. Even my Frosty Pink doesn't change as much. It might be a Rahabana but I'm not positive so it will be yet another pink NOID. One day I'm going to be able to keep my plants labeled. lol

Here's a pic of one of my favorite bugs. A Golden Tortoise beetle. It eats morning glories and is a bit destructive but it's so pretty that I keep them around. One of my favorite plants is starting to bloom, Strophanthus preussii. It has the colest looking flowers.

Very pretty Karyn and that beetle is amazing.

Maybe the two toned blooms will reappear. The Flamenco blooms I had a few weeks ago started out so white it had me double checking the tags. The next morning it was a beautiful pink.

Karyn, that one with white edging was beautiful, but the solid pink is also. I like the way the inside looks with that lighter pink. Cool looking beautiful! I got my MC at the nursery where I bought the papaya. A couple of years ago they had it discounted for $18, but I haven't seen that again!

The place I got my MC only had them for a short time. I did come across one at a nursery in WV but they don't list their prices so I'll have to give them a call. Has your ever bloomed? Mine didn't but I only had it for a season or two. Do you know of any other variegated foliage brugs with pink blooms? I've seen some listed in European nurseries but nothing here. Speaking of European nurseries take a look at this place. Everything is gorgeous! I asked DH if he would contact them and see if they would sell to him. DH gets shipments from the Aalsmeer auctions 2x/wk. It's all cut material but even if they can't ship plants in containers I don't see why they couldn't send cuttings. We'll see if he calls.

I love your brug. Glad you are getting flushes again now. I don't think the brug could be rubirosa because the flower shape isn't the same and rubirosa hangs at more of an angle. Its pretty whatever it is though. I love your Strophanthus preussii, one of my favorite vines.
