| Meyer | Clark | ||||
| Sheppard | Clark | This is Marcelle Sheppard's hybrid of BC93-1 (Germa x Spotty) crossed with one of its siblings. Note that this plant inherited the color pattern from it's grandparent pardinum, but the dots are orange instead of red. (BC) | |||
| Clark | Clark | Po' little thing. This seedling inherited the narrow petals of cybister and parodii. Note that it looks similar to 'Emerald'. I crossed it with 'Emerald' which is more green in color. | |||
| BC94-3 | Clark | Clark | Germa X traubii forma doraniae. Small 4 inch flower on a long tepaltube. This is the first hybrid of traubii f. doraniae that was NOT pink/rose. The color is a pale salmon-orange. | ||
| H. petiolatum | species | Clark | This species was collected and named by several collectors, the plant is one in the same. It is a striatum variant with a reported 55 chromosome count. It does not make seeds and multiplies by those little bulblets. Now this plant has the same leaves, flowers, bulblets, light colored pollen, same color flowers, and a trifid stigma. How close do you have to be to see that it is a striatum type? The flower is almost 3 inches across the face, and some folks have crossed it with tets, like the Dutch hybrids in an effort to develop minis. Not a bad idea. (BC) | ||
| E12/F | Doran | Clark | Doran's fragratissimum fragrant hybrid. Long white trumpet shaped flower that developes ruffles and a pink blush upon ageing. | ||
| Amputo | Clark | ||||
| H. striatum | species | King | This variety was formerly distributed as H. striatum var. striatum. | ||
| H. miniatum | species | Clark | |||
| Papilio x Cybister | Clark | Another one of the papilio x cybister hybrids that had the wider petals. (BC) | |||
| Fiery Bouquet | Clark | ||||
| BC 95-11 | Clark | Clark | Germa X one of Manning's reticulatum var. striatifolium hybrids. 4 flowers per scape. (BC) | ||
| BC96-5 | Clark | Clark | This small hybrid with a long tepal tube is 'Germa' X Len Doran's unnamed species collection number 'LD 186'3 (BC) | ||
| BC96-23 | Clark | Clark | EAE X sib. (BC) | ||
| BC97-16 | Clark | Clark | (papilio x cybister) X lapacensis from Santa Cruz, this clone is large flowered. (BC) | ||
| BC97-22 | Clark | Clark | H. lapacensis from Santa Cruz X Spotty. A vigorous large flowered (7.5 inch) hybrid. The "stripes" are lines of red dots. (BC) | ||
| BC99-3 | Clark | Clark | H. johnsoni x EAE. A tiny little thing, the smallest flower (3 inch) that I have grown in years. This is proof that EAE and evansiae can be used to bring down the size of a hybrid, but using those two plants is a trade off, as you lose resistance to virus in the hybrids. (BC) | ||
| Henderson's Yellow | Henderson | Clark | John Henderson's hybrid of a cream and green hybrid pollinated with Yellow Pioneer. The flowers are tilted upward and have a nice shape. It is a different shade of yellow, less amber, more creamy. I like this one, for breeding, wide petals and wide open flowers, this was the first bloom in a community pot. (BC) | ||
| Henderson's Yellow sibling | Henderson | Clark | John Henderson's hybrid of a cream and green hybrid pollinated with Yellow Pioneer. (BC) | ||
| H. starkii hybrid | Clark | Clark | (Starkii x ?) The one on the left had only flower on the scape, and the other scape on the right has two flowers on the scape. It appears to be setting seed with pollen from 'EAE'. (BC) | ||
| H. striatum | Clark | This is the form found growing "wild" in Puerto Rico. (BC) | |||
| H. xParkeri | Manning | Clark | Russell Manning's hybrid of reticulatum var. striatifolium and striatum. This clone and it's siblings rebloom, usually about 4 times a year. (BC) | ||
| Yellow Goddess | Clark | This is the original Yellow Goddess that was used as the seed parent of Dave Bell and it's only sibling. Large flat flowers of creamy yellow. (BC) | |||
| Ambiance | G. van Staalduinen | King | (Wayside) | ||
| American Emerald | F. Meyer | King | Cybister hybrid. (From Smith-Hawken) | ||
| American Emerald | F. Meyer | Clark | Cybister hybrid. | ||
| La Paz | F. Meyer | King | Another hybrid of Papilio and Cybister | ||
| Dave Bell | D. Bell | Clark | [Yellow Goddess x (xParkerii x fragrantissimum)]. The leaves have dilute stripes, inherited from H. reticulatum var. striatifolium. (BC) | ||
| Dave Bell sibling | Bell | Clark | This is the last sibling of the clone 'Dave Bell', note that this clone has creamy yellow flowers, 4 flowers on a sturdy scape, and dilute stripes on its leaves. Like 'Dave Bell', this one makes offsets. It is worthy to collectors and breeders, since both clones will grow in shade. That is the one good thing about most of the reticulatum hybrids, they prefer shade, and therefore they grow better indoors than most modern hybrids. This is a real plus for folks who live way up north, and it also explains why Russell Manning had such good luck with them in Minnesota. (BC) | ||
| EAE | Davis, Nelson, & Doran | Clark | Breeding credit should go to Davis, Nelson, and Doran for supplying the original aglaiae pollen. Nice little cream yellow hybrid, flowers about 4 inches across the face on a 8-10 inch tall scape. (BC) | ||
| EAE x Estrelita | Clark | ||||
| Mrs. Garfield | Veitch | B. Clark | There are 6 flowers on the scape, and this hybrid blooms 3 to 4 times a year. The flowers are about 5-6 inches across the face. Note the white pollen like the reticulatum var. striatifolium parent. (Defiance was the other parent.) (BC) | ||
| Pink Floyd | F. Meyer | King | Beautiful! A very different sort, with pink trumpets. | ||
| Ruby Meyer | F. Meyer | King | This appears to be another Cybister hybrid, but what's the other parent? | ||
| Solomon | King | A fine, floriferous variety with a maroon "eye". | |||
| Summertime | King | A classic pink with darker featherings. | |||
| Tinto | F. Meyer | King | An unusual shade of purple-red. | ||
| Tinto | F. Meyer | Clark | An unusual shade of purple-red. | ||
| Aulica hybrid | Unknown | B. Clark | This is a very old hybrid from California that has aulicum in its ancestry, looks very much like xacramanii, which would be nice, but the one in the garden breeds as a tet, and the original hybrid was probably a dip. (BC) | ||
| Reginae hybrid | Unknown | B. Clark | Another old hybrid, breeds as a tet, got these from my cousin Kenny, who got them from his wife's late Grandmother, who got them when they first moved to California....a long time ago. This one shows a lot of reginae ancestry and has flowers only about four inches across the face. (BC) | ||
| Aulicum x Calyptratum | Morris | B. Clark | Wm. "Bill"
Morris's fall-blooming hybrid of aulicum x calyptratum. As
you can see, it is mostly green with a brushing or light orange. This
plant always blooms in autumn after a leafless summer dormancy, a trait
shared by both parents. Also note that the calyptratum shape of the
flowers is a co-dominate trait and is diluted in this F-1 hybrid. I have a
hard time getting a picture that showed the two upper petal segs recuring
inward. I have other pictures, but guess this one is representative.
���� Since this hybrid is a fall bloomer, it should or will be a good parent (it has never made seeds for me) for crossing with other fall or late summer bloomers. (BC) | ||
| MS97-3 | Marcelle Sheppard | M. Sheppard | BC93-1 [(Germa x Spotty) x (Len Doran's hybrid of doraniae x traubii forma doraniae.)] | ||
| BC93-1-3 | Clark | Clark | (Germa x Spotty) This is one of the lighter colored forms of the 93-1 cross, this particular plant has cream yellow flowers with orange/red dots. Compare this with the sibling picture sent previously. On a curiosity note, the bottom sepalseg droops down, not a trait found in the parental stock. (BC) | ||
| BC94-1 | Clark | Clark | (Germa x H. papilio) This is an older hybrid of Germa pollinated with papilio. No two seedlings in the batch were the same. All were open faced short trumpet shaped flowers in green, green/yellow or yellow. The most variable trait is the red markings on the petals which ranges from a thumb print to stripes like this individual. Easy to grow. (BC) | ||
| BC94-2 | Clark | Clark | (Germa x H. puniceum from Bolivia) | ||
| BC94-2-2 | Clark | Clark | This clone (94-2-2) is more typical the cross of Germa x puniceum pink (Bolivia) in that it is lighter in color being a salmon orange. (BC) | ||
| BC94-5 | Clark | Clark | H. papilio x puniceum (from Bolivia) | ||
| BC94-5 | Clark | Clark | H. papilio x puniceum (pink) | ||
|
BC94-6 | Clark | Clark | H. papilio x H. traubii f.
doraniae The foliage on this tiny clumper has the deep red marking like the pollen parent, traubii. (BC) | ||
| BC94-8 | Clark | Clark | Spotty x H. papilio | ||
| BC94-9 | Clark | Clark | Spotty x H. traubii f. doraniae | ||
| BC95-28 | Clark | Clark | This is the Hippeastrum hybrid of papilio x cybister. You will note that it is similiar to Jungle Star, Lima, and some others. This clone has slightly wider petals than some of the others. (BC) | ||
| BC95-30 | Clark | Clark | papilo x neoleopoldii | ||
| BKauGe | Knight | Clark | aulicum
x Germa Most of the plants of this cross are very similiar. Best thing about these are that they bloom later than most other Hipps. (BC) | ||
| H. blossfeldiae | Clark | One of the original collected bulbs, and a natural tetraploid. It is perhaps the most easy to grow and bloom of all Hipps. (BC) | |||
| Germa sport | Clark | Clark | This flower scape is from a one inch offset on the mother bulb of a sport of 'Germa'. It differs in that the flowers are a speck lighter, more wide open, and sometimes a flower or two will be completely upright. This plant is fertile both ways, and all other aspects it is just like the normal 'Germa'. (BC) | ||
| H. aulicum | Doran | Clark | This is one of Len Doran's collection of Hipp. aulicum, the color is intense and somewhat darker than the picture portrays, the flowers are large and open faced, nearly flat open, approximately 6 plus inches across the face with tremendous substance, one of the better forms of the species. (BC) | ||
| H. lapacensis | Doran | Clark | This is Len Doran collection of Hippeastrum lapacensis form from Santa Cruz. | ||
| DC-1 | Clark | H. striatum form | |||
| H. striatum | GHW | King | |||
| Scarlet Baby x H. fulgidum | King | King | My first hybrid Amaryllis | ||
