I have all unknown or seedling brugs. I used to have named ones, but either lost the tags or they died eventually. (I found out the hard way that I can't grow them in the ground here because of the root knot nematodes will eventually kill them.)

I have several different plants grown as standards (tree form), of which the majority were grown from seeds purchased a year or so ago. The blooms on most of those are smallish. (Several are double blooms.) And most are white blooms. I do have a couple of brugs that I received as cuttings that have larger blooms and I find that I prefer the larger blooming brugs best of all. So, I am interested to know what cultivars produce the largest blooms?

I have 2 that I love (names unknown). One is a golden yellow and the other is a white/pink blooms. Both smell divine!

Golden yellow (name unknown):

Pink and white blooms. (This one had a fungus or bacteria attack it's trunk and I thought it was a goner, but I managed to save it.) This is a recent bloom flush:

And this is a seedling with white blooms. The blooms are rather small and don't hang down like the larger blooming brugs do. I really prefer the larger blooming brugs so much more:

I would like to acquire some cuttings of larger blooming brugs, but don't know which ones to consider. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
