Slc. NEW HYBRID (Slc. Granata Sunrise 'SVO Tequila Sunrise' x Slc. Rockette 'Little Rock' AM/AOS)

Granata Sunrise (Lc. Tokyo Magic x Slc. Wasp Nest) has been an excellent cross. The flower color looks like a Tequila Sunrise, in shades of yellows, oranges and reds, and the 7-9 blooms are held just above the foliage on sturdy stems. The flowers of Rockette (Lc. Koolau Seagulls x Sc. Beaufort) 'Little Rock' are a pleasing red-orange color, with 5-6 well-spaced, starry blossoms on a nice stem arising from a compact plant. This new grex will give us flowers in warm sunset colors, mostly reds and oranges. Plants will be compact with 5-7 well-presented flowers.

Pot. NEW HYBRID (Pot. Martha's Charm 'Mother's Day' x Lc. Tokyo Magic '6-1' AM/AOS)

The flowers of Martha's Charm (Pot. Martha Clarke x Blc. Izumi Charm) have been a beautiful soft yellow with a touch of red on the lip, and the wide well-rounded petals are particularly nice. Tokyo Magic (Lc. Irene Finney x L. briegeri) has yellow flowers with a red lip and is a great breeder that has produced many successful hybrids. Tokyo Magic imparts good shape, strong stems and a compact plant habit. Here we are looking for 4-5 well-supported yellow flowers with deep red lips, wide petals and excellent shape.

Tropical Sunset (C. Horace x Lc. Tropic Glow) has strong stems that carry 4-6 well-shaped orange flowers with bold red splashes on the petals and a red lip. This cultivar of Guess What (Blc. Waikiki Gold x Lc. Trick or Treat) blooms with well-presented clusters of 8-9 vibrant orange-yellow flowers. We expect this cross to produce flowers in golden orange, many with red splashes on the petals, and all with prominent red lips.

Pot. NEW HYBRID (Pot. Burana Angel '#1 Best' HCC/AOS x Blc. Guess What 'SVO' AM/AOS)

Burana Angel (Pot. Burana Beauty x Slc. Bright Angel) produces remarkably-colored flowers: well-shaped reds with darker red flares and yellow at the base – a very interesting color combination. Plants are 10” tall and bloom twice a year. This cultivar of Guess What (Blc. Waikiki Gold x Lc. Trick or Treat) blooms with well-presented clusters of 8-9 vibrant orange-yellow flowers. I am optimistic that these will have excellent red-orange flowers with yellow flared petals on strong stems displaying 5-7 blooms.

Blc. NEW HYBRID (Blc. Love Sound 'Dogashima' AM/AOS x Blc. Schroder's Love 'SVO' AM/AOS)

Love Sound (Blc. Bouton D'Or x L. briegeri) has well-documented qualities as a parent. Here, its bright yellow flowers and compact growth habit are line bred back to the great flower form, size and strong stem of Schroder's Love (C. schroderae x Love Sound). The result will be outstanding plants with self-supporting stems of well-arranged large flowers in clusters of golden yellow with orange lips. Perfect plants to grow into large specimens that will become “show stoppers” in the early spring.

Pot. NEW HYBRID (Pot. Memoria Jim Nickou 'James' HCC/AOS x Pot. Golden Circle 'OPRL')

The potential for this cross is amazing! Memoria Jim Nickou (Blc. Xanthette x Sc. Beaufort) has bright yellow flowers with just a bit of red on the lip. Its excellent shape and twice-a-year flowering habit make this a desirable parent. Breeding plants to bloom reliably twice a year takes careful thought and selection, and this cross should deliver in this category. Flowers will range from yellow to orange and all colors in between, many with contrasting red lips. These will start flowering in 3" pots and will bloom twice a year when mature.

Pot. NEW HYBRID (Pot. Dean's Gold 'Dean's Gold' AM/AOS x Lc. Tokyo Magic '6-1' AM/AOS)

Dean's Gold (Pot. Little Toshie x Pot. Memoria Jim Nickou) has a beautifully-shaped, 3”, bright golden yellow flower with a bit of red on the lip. The plant is very compact - just 8” tall.

Irene Finney x L. briegeri) has been responsible for 62 registered hybrids resulting in 56 AOS awards - quite a record! This important parent breeds good flower shape, red lips, sturdy stems and a compact growth habit. We predict this cross will produce flat, well-rounded yellow flowers. The yellow lips will have a spot of red on the tip, and the strong stems will carry 4-5 flowers well-displayed above the foliage.

Pot. Spring Prominence (Lc. Spring Fires 'Lenette' #3' x Pot. Hawaiian Prominence 'America' AM/AOS)

One of our long-term breeding goals is the development of plants with strong inflorescences holding heads of well-shaped red flowers. This cross incorporates parents with key traits toward this goal. Hawaiian Prominence (Blc. Hisako Akatsuka x Slc. Wendy's Redstone) produces an eye-catching display with flowers that have been described as “a deep velvety ruby purple with a ruby purple lip and bright yellow throat.” Flowers are large at 4.5” across on plants barely 10” tall. Spring Fires (Lc. Fires of Spring x Lc. Fire Island) has strong upright stems carrying 5-9 red/orange flowers with darker red lips. It has proven to be an excellent parent, with dominance for color, a sturdy inflorescence, and bloom period. These will be vibrant velvety red-purple flowers held well on good stems.  A nice new development in color and flower count.

The flowers of Carolina Orange D'Or (Blc. Carolina Golden D'Or x Blc. Malworth D'Or) are magnificent, with excellent orange color and full shape. The 6-8 blooms per stem make this a spectacular show plant.  Love Blush (Blc. Love Sound x Blc. Picotee Passion) has different-looking flower colors in shades of yellow and lavender. Flowers are flat and well-formed, and the strong stems hold 4-5 blooms. This is a bit of an experimental cross.
