I have the info as being a Sirita Magra, is that incorrect?

Should I have eliminated the second bloom that sits atop?

no that name is right. brachy is just short for brachypetalum which is the subgenus of what makes up the greyi half of your Sirita Magra.

Hi! I don't think so. However, I am hoping someone more seasoned chimes in because I'm no expert.

Hi Linda, I would let the second bloom open to compare with the first bloom (if plant is strong and happy).

Then take a few more pics for us to enjoy this fairrie cross.
