Summer 2016 Sales List
Hackneau Collection
Species, Divisions & Seedlings
Extra seedlings from my own crosses. These are all unbloomed
Seedlings
- Bulb Grace Thoms (Bulb echinolabium ‘Hackneau’ x Bulb sulawesi) – This is my cross matching a huge flowered echinolabium with a multifloral miniature version of the same looking for multiple, intermediate size flowers on a re-blooming stem. Bill Thoms also made the cross and named it. He received an AQ on his cross, but told me that he liked the form on my version of the cross better (I gave him a compot) – 2-4” pots $10-20 depending on size. Please state preference.
- C Ruth Gee ‘Goldkist’ AM/AOS x C schroderae ‘SVO’ AM/AOS – Looking for light, translucent pinks with orange lips on large flowers. Both parents are tetraploids. I made this cross several times before finally getting germination. 3”pots $12, 2” pots $10, plugs $6.
- Lc Mishima Flash (Starting Point ‘Unique’ x Melody Fair ‘Carol’) – Should be an amazing semi-alba hybrid with Horace as a grandparent. These seedlings are from my cross, but the cross was made and registered using the exact same clones. In 3” pots $10.
- Mem. Mario Lanza ‘#20’ x L tenebrosa ‘Michael II’ HCC/AOS – A rich red clone from Lenette’s Breeding combined with a species known to intensify the red color. Plugs potted in 2 ½” pots in spring. $6
- C leopoldii 4N x C Triumphans – This C leopoldii has produced offspring exceeding 13 cm when crossed with standard cattleyas and I expect the same size flowers in this hybrid with intense purple-red colors. Plugs potted in 2 ½” pots in spring. $6
- Remake of the famous C Wolteriana (C schroderae ‘Wil’ x C aurantiaca ‘Bill’s 4N’) with a distinct difference. The original cross produced clusters of salmon color flowers on nice stems. The remake should intensify the orange color and flower form with even higher flower count. These seedlings have grown faster than any cross I have every made. Plugs ready for 2-3” pots $5.
Species (other than Cattleyas).
For many years I have grown a variety of species that are interesting and easy to grow. Some produce keikis or get so large that I routinely remove nice divisions. Others become so large that they must be repotted leaving me with many divisions for a year or so. These are the ones available this year.
- Epi schlechterianum – This is a true miniature with flowers as large (1.5-1.9 cm) as each growth. Easy to grow mounted where it quickly covers the entire mount. Many culture awards have been giver to this species. Color of flowers is green. Divisions $10.
- Bulb lasiochilum – A miniature that is easy to grow mounted with 2.5 cm x 3.2 cm blooms that have burgundy sepals & petals and a pink lip with spots. Easy to grow into a specimen and thrives in low-medium light. Divisions $10.
- Bulb medusa ‘Hackneau’ – Spectacular species! True to its name, it produces umbels (balls) of small, ivory flowers with cascading floral segments as long as 30 cm. I have been trying to get this plant to a judging for over 20 years, but always miss the judging dates. Finally had to take the plant apart and start again in a new basket. 3-4 bulb bare-root divisions, $20.
- Pholidota imbricate – Deep green leaves produce inflorescences similar to a Dendrochilum with rows of small, cream colored flowers. Easy to grow into specimen plants. Divisions $20.
- Phal cornu-cervi ‘JEMMCO’ – This clone has been in my collection for over 20 years and remains a favorite. Once mature, each inflorescence produces one or more keikis that grow roots and attach to the pot or basket. An excellent form of the species, darker and larger than most clones. Mature Keiki ready to bloom $25.
- Phal cornu-cervi ‘Dark Form’ – Another clone added many years ago that I gout from R.F. Orchids that is darker than the common form, but not the red type. Mature keiki $20.
- Phal luddemanniana ‘Woodlawn’ – Famous clone, always in bloom with pink bars on white flowers. Easy to grow into specimen plant. Mature keiki $20.
Cattleyas – In addition to classic Cattleya clones the list contains many first and second bloom seedlings for which I just do not have room. I buy many seedlings, take photos when they bloom but rarely keep them so that I have room for more seedlings. There will also be divisions this year, including from some orchids that have not been repotted in a decade. One advantage of growing in rock is that repotting is not required as the media does not degrade. In many cases there will just be a single division and in others a dozen or more. When I repot I keep one large division and hold the backbulbs as insurance. Once the large division is growing well after a year, the sprouted backbulbs also offered for sale. Size is noted for backbulbs divisions along with estimated time to flowering.
Rare Divisions of Classic Cattleyas
- Bc Hartland ‘Fields’ – One of the rarest cattleya clones in my collection that dates back into the 1930’s and is the parent of the famous Blc Norman’s Bay. The backbulbs were cut in 2015 and produced a new growth that bloomed. Three-bulb division $250.
- Lc Nigrescent ‘Troubador’ AM – Blooming size division in 4” pot. $75
- Lc Adolph Heckler ‘Lynn’ HCC/AOS – Heads of medium lavender flowers on a nice stem. Large plant in 7” pot. $50.
- Bc Greenheart ‘Amy’ – Large green flowers with huge frilly lip with just a touch of purple. Backbulb division that should bloom this year. $50.
- C intermedia v candida splendid ‘ Grezaffi’ – A rare form of the species poorly known, even in Brazil, that has been in Joe Grezaffi’s collection for many years. White petals and sepals with a colored lip that can extend into the whole column characterizes this form. I have bloomed this clone many times and the petals are always white, but the degree to which the colored lip extends into the column varies greatly from year to year. Small backbulb division $25.
Modern Cattleya Clones and Hybrids
- L purpurata divisions – I am in the process of cutting up a very large clone of L purpurata. If you want a nice clone of this species this is a good deal. 3 bulbs or greater bare root divisions. $15.
- C intermedia alba ‘Lines’ FCC/AOS – Back bulb division of a clone that grows like a weed. $20.
- C Brabantiae (‘El Toro’ x ‘Dixie Spots’) – This is a sib cross of two excellent clones from a cross of C aclandiae x C loddigesii. I purchased a number of seedlings and the cross was extremely uniform. This hybrid is difficult to establish and once established is best left alone. This seedling is well-established in lava rock and grown in a 6” clay pot. Photo available. $35
- Blc Momilani Rainbow – I purchased 12 seedlings of a sib cross between two awarded clones, all but one of which were equal or superior to the original parents. I usually keep one or two of an excellent cross and have tried to select the best ones over the years, but finally decided that they are so uniform it does not matter which clones I keep. Others are available for you to put your own clonal name on. $35
- Blc Zul ‘Bill Williams’ (skinneri x Orange Nugget) – I purchased many unbloomed seedlings of this cross, but none flowered with the clear peach color, form and flower count of this clone. Nice division with two leads $60.
- C dolosa ‘Inferno Survivor’, – This is a species that appears to either be a natural hybrid between C walkeriana and C harrisoniana or a species derived from them. This clone came from a selfing of a wild-collected clone and show no sign of reverting to either species; evidence that it is a good species. Excellent in color, size and form. Established in 4” pot $50.
- B glauca – Select, small-stature clone with large ivory flowers. Mature, overgrown division in 3” pot $35.
- Lctna Roy Fields ‘Caesar’s Creek’ AM/AOS (Blc Mattie Shave x Keith Roth)– Very dark form of this easy to grow, second generation Broughtonia hybrid. Division in 4” pot $50
- Bc Madam Hye ‘Pink Butterfly’ (digbyana x harrisoniana) – Beautiful pink flowers on a plant that blooms several times per year. Bare root divisions of an excellent clone of this fast growing primary hybrid. $35
- C Deep Powder (Ruth Gee ‘GoldKist’ x Alfresco ‘St Topez’ – Divisions from two unbloomed seedlings. One should bloom this year and the second perhaps this year or next. Photos of the cross are nice with large white flowers and excellent form. Hoping for more yellow on the lip than the original cross by using the ‘Goldkist’ clone. – $20.
- C lueddemanniana ‘C-234-5’, divisions of a fast growing dark form of this spring blooming species. $25
- Enc parviflora – Divided a plant I have had for over 20 years. Flowering size divisions $15.
- Blc Mary Forest ‘Rosemarie’ (Blc Color Magic x Blc Owen Holmes) – A very red clone from a grex that produced colors ranging from yellow to red. This clone is named after my wife! Division in 4” pot, 1 year from blooming $40.
- Blc Majestic Light ‘Hawaii’ – Recent product from Hawaii with clear, beautiful yellow flowers on the chartreuse side of the color chart. Division a year from flowering $20.
- Lc Mem. Grant Eichler ‘Lenette’ HCC/AOS – This clone makes the largest flowers in my collection typically over 8” in natural spread once established. This is one of the few cattleyas where I keep more than two divisions. $30 in 5” pot.
- Blc Goldenzelle ‘Raspberry’ x Blc Eve Marie Barnett ‘Magnificent Watermelon Gold’ – Backbulbs from this unnamed cross. Expect reds-orange flowers. $30
- Blc Jeremy Island x C Horace – Unnamed hybrid that blooms with well-shaped dark lavender flowers in 6” pot to flower in the fall. $30.
- Krull’s Georgia Peach (Blc Annie Bell x Blc Delta King) – Aptly named with numbers of orange flowers that blooms in the spring. One of the first bloomed seedlings I liked so much that I kept it. In 6” pot, $30.
- L lobata ‘Hackneau’ – Several years ago during repotting a single growth broke off. This is a very nice clone of the standard color form. The bulb was attached to a piece of tree fern and quickly grew roots and attached. Small plant to bloom in 1-2 years, $15.
Other Hybrids
- Paph Jurgen Roth ‘Itsy Bitsy Fritzie’ AM/AOS (primulinum x kolopakingii) – Vigorous clone and the only one awarded of this grex to date. Divisions in 2” pots $60.
- Phal Pine Hill ‘Fireworks’ – Excellent spotted clone mericloned by Carter & Holmes years ago. It readily produces keikis. Very different than the many spotted phals arriving from Taiwan. Flowering size keiki. $25.
Coerulea Cattleyas
There was a time when obtaining quality coerulea (blue) cattleyas was difficult. This color form has become increasingly popular. While still not common, coerulea cattleyas are available. I search for seedlings of both coerulea species and hybrids and purchase or trade for them whenever I find them. If you are interested in this color form email me (Hackneau@comcast.net) and I will tell you what I have available at that time. If you want them I will reserve them and bring them with me.
Backbulb Divisions
There was a time when I used to list these, but finally just offer them for $10 each – my choice. I never know if I will have any or how many I will have. The only guarantee is that there will be a new growth from the backbulbs. Some of my best clones were obtained from backbulbs.
