Brenda - I believe that one of the parents of those doubles were doubles or even triples themselves. So that may be why I had so many that are double blooms instead of single blooms.
Rhapsody - The red barked one is from seed (of which I am not sure of the parentage). But it is unusual and I had no idea some Brugs could have that color and texture of bark. I've never had a brug like that before. That is a new characteristic for a brug from my personal experience and perspective.
This is the list of possible crosses (from the seeds I purchased over a year ago) of the plants above. Again, I do NOT know which is which because of the containers being knocked over by my dear cat.:

The seeds came from Arghya Gardens in St. Petersburg, FL. They have an extensive collection, but mainly only sell seeds at certain times of the year. It really is fun to grow from seeds because you never know what you might get. I only have one with the red bark like that. I think some have shown genes from way back in their genetic line. It's been surprising to say the least.

Any ideas on some of mine as to which of the 4 crosses above that they might be?
