SARCANTHINAE SPECIES
 
   Sarc. hartmannii ‘Alba Abe’
 
The infamous or is it still famous,  we did have to change its varietal name to Sarc. hartmannii 'BEE - ESS', so it could be awarded an HCC/ .

The selfing we did way back,  (X958) and of those that have flowered , they are all like mum/Dad  and no doubt will  be Show bench material, as well.

 

We are repeatedly having clients praising the effect that Bee-Ess has on its progeny. David Butler and others are using the selfings and are receiving almost identical results, you Stud Muffin you.

 

 The sarcochilus species/ hybrids have had a bad year, flowering was reasonable; a number didn’t flower because of the repotting, & you can’t say we didn’t have a go in the breeding department. We did 99 pollinations , YES 99,

on 1st November, as at 14th APRIL we have 14 still sitting there, of which 4 or 5 appear to be productive, who knows?  WE know who does but he is reluctant to inform us. Our thanks to Peter Jackson from Orchids & More of Tasmania for one of his excellent crosses included in this year’s Sarcochilus Hybrid list.

 

Don't forget we do have select divisions of some divisions of our show /breeders available, be quick.
