My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
KHT - Hi I keep hearing that without DNA testing you can't ID an unknown Brug. OK - Is there a DNA data base somewhere? If you are lucky enough to get a cross or a sport that is different and nameable, who would add your new hybrid to this database? There seems to be a few new Brugs that come out from year to year that are named - is every one of those added to this database? If they were not, then it seems that DNA testing would be of little value. If you could afford to have it done.
BTW - Thanks again for the Iochroma cuttings you sent last fall. The Plum is doing beautifully and flowering. The Blues sprouted leaves, but no matter how I tried - I coudn't get any roots.
Hi blicon1, I'm not aware of a DNA database and there is a registation of new hybrid process at ABADS. Some of us are concern with the rush of those that register new hybrids without the proper testing. But again we will see a flood of new ones that should be cull as they really aren't worth the time but folks just want to name them. A good hybridizer will test for more than a year, which some of us feel is not long enough period. I have see brugs change color and shape from year to year. DNA testing will give you a clearer picture of what you honestly have and yes it's expensive. But again we have folks that give anything a name and this is why we have so many look alikes. Hope this helps. AS for the Iochroma, I find the blue is hard to bloom and neglect is the best for them. Do not over fertlize as you can kill this one. This year we cut ours clear back to the soil so we will see how she does now. Our favorite is the Plum as she blooms like crazy with neglect.
Thanks to all who responded I guess unknown white would be appropriate enough for me. The fragrance is awesome and it is such a beautiful plant with or without a pedigree.
