Jerry Meola's Hybrid Plant List

[sandra]

YIPPEE! A hybrid growing project running simultaneous to the species project.

From post#17 (in case you miss it there, it's here and visa versa)
GREAT NEWS.....

Anyone joining in on this project, can order additional and other plants from Jerry's list. There will still be that one special hybrid members here will unanimously agree to get and since Jerry will moderate and guide members through their growing progress, at the same time, he'll guide members joined in this project, with the same guidance on their additions....or not....it's your choice!



.................................................. .................................................. ........................
This is Jerry's post from another thread. I copied it here, in this new forum that Fred set up for the project.

From March 17, 2008:


"I am not out but spent the last few days answering all the private emails I got about this project.

Sharon has been asking me for a detailed list and for several types that are really out of season.

here goes

Here is a list of orchids I can supply currently at a consistent size and in sufficient quantity for this project. The comments match the photos, which I do not want posted on the forum since I do not own all the photos. I will send a zip file of the photos to anyone who requests it. Email me at jerrymeola@gmail.com All plants would be $4.00 except the species Paphs (12.50). Prioity mail is a max of $8.95 per shipment.

Since weight is not a factor a lot can be packed in the box if people want things like heavy hydro rock. I shipped 8 plants and and 3 pounds of hydro in a box this morning. I can get up to a gallon of worm tea and plants in a box. Worm tea without shipping charge is $5 for 4 ounce bottle, $10 for 16 oz, $18 quart, $25 half gallon, $42 gallon.

I do not mind putting supplies in the boxes, or additional plants.

The numbers on the names are only photo references for me and mean nothing as to the plant."

Encyclia
1 (Enc Altrovelumtum x cordigera) x cordigeria_6270.JPG These I raised two seasons ago and and 80% flowered in one year. They bloom reliabily from Easter to Mother's Day. They are very fragrant.
1a Enc. Atronecium - cordigera 'Multi' x Enc. cordigera 'Giant' 1409.JPG These are the one's I purchased for myself last week. They will look like the flower photo, but have been crossed with cordigera again which may increase the flower size. Cordegeria is about the largest Encyclia flower. They do well in pots or mounted.

Bassovola - both are easier to grow and less expensive that the nodosa species which looks just like the Little Stars - the cross with Maiki added the purple spotting and it grows fast. My best 2 inch pot put up 11 new pseudobulbs in six months. Both can flower in a year. They do well in pots, mounted or in baskets.

2 Bc (Llittle Stars x Maikai) 'Hawaii'_4962.jpg
2 Little Stars (Nodosa x Cordata)71.jpg

Cattleya hybrids - They do well in pots, mounted or in baskets.
These are all types I raise. The first tray is typical of tray size. I thought a seed cross might be fun. The colors can vary greatly but always pretty.
The Sunbow (yellow flower) crossed deckeri (purple) produced three color variations. 20 of the 50 plants bloomed within 6 months. They were frozen in the Janurary freeze and while they lost all their leaves none died. I would order new ones for the members. Size will be typical of the tray in the photo.

3 Blc Haleahi Sunbow x C deckeri__4461.jpg
This is the actual tray I received this week. I suggest it because it is a new hybrid unregistered and somewhat unknown as to the results we can get. Sunbow is yellow and the other parent is unstable in color but always pretty. Three color variations are pictured.

The following are clones and will be very close to the photos. I sell these all the time. Right now the grower is shipping me last years crop and the size is extra large. These are all grown in 2 1/2 inch pots and all are ready for 4 inch pots. The grower is still shipping me oversized plants from last season.
photos number 3 and 4 have flowers that range from 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 inches

Photos numbered 5 have flowers that range from 6-8 inches, they are as big a plant as the others but may take longer to flower.

Dendrobiums - No common Den-phals offered
6 Den Cathy Beck.jpg - Miniature Den - this photo is of a full grow plant less than three inches high that has flowered twice. It is a University of Hawaii hybrid that may not be available again for years. It was the last tray available and I received it last week so size is consistent. The photo is directly from the tray.
6 Den Cathy Beck_6274.JPG
Noblie Dendrobiums - all are Yamamoto hybrids that are about 8 inches and will flower new winter spring.
6 Den Himezakura 'Sanokku'_5395.jpg flowers as small as 3 inches
6 Den Red Emperor 'Prince'_0152.JPG - fragrant
6 Den Sea Mary 'Snow King'_1573.jpg - lots of flowers
6 Den Spring Dream 'Kumika' _1709.JPG or sometimes 'Apollo' there is not much difference in color
6 Den Upin King 'Seranade'_0196.JPG
6 Den Yellow Song 'Canary'_0132.JPG - lots of flowers
6 Den. Oriental Smiles 'Fantasy'_1107.jpg
6 Dendrobium Yellow Song 'Canary'6072.jpg - a three year old plant that looked undesirable last year and dead all summer. 80 flowers this year.

Oncidium alliance - wrong time of year for small plants
Milt. Earl Dunn_1014.JPG is very warm tolerant and the only oncidium alliance I would recommend this time of year. I have flowered them at 100 degrees in August in spite of Miltonia liking cool temps. The current supply of plants if they have not run out will overflow a 4 inch pot. Average 4-8 pseudobulbs and 18 inches high. The hanging plants are the 2 largest of ten I purchassed 3 months ago.

Phaleanopsis - I did not expect to find any this time of year. These are 4-6 inch leaf spread and will flower in 6-8 months. These I would have to order. They are almost semi-miniatures (8 inch plants 3-3 1/2 inch flowers) the flowers branch heavily
9 Phal Brother Budda x Brother Pumpkin_2080.jpg
9 Phal Naples nights x Petite rose x Glad melinda.jpg - mottled leaves as well
9 Phal Sogo Grap.jpg
9 Phal Tapei gold x Brother paradise.jpg

Papheopedilum
Species are scarce in uniform size for a project like this but delanti and barbatum are available in 2 1/2 inch pots - near blooming size, however, paphs bloom whenever there is no way to predict blooming. I do not have a photo of barbartum. These I would have to order

This is the only one available in sufficient quantity for this project. I have bought 4 different combinations of these crosses and I can not tell the difference from each other without reading the name tag. It will look like the photo I sent and be fragrant. (jerry)

My choices Thanks for getting this fixed. I was adding more grey hair over trying to post.

[kmarch]

(Enc Altrovelumtum x cordigera) x cordigeria
Enc. Atronecium - cordigera 'Multi' x Enc. cordigera 'Giant'
Phal Naples nights x Petite rose x Glad melinda

What are these? The names are problematic. I know of an Encyclia Atroniceum (cordigera x phonecia) so I'm guessing that's just a misspelling, but is it crossed with a line bred cordigera and thus: Enc. Atroniceum (cordigera 'Multi' x Enc. cordigera 'Giant') or is it crossed with cordigera then again back crossed to another cordigera and thus: Enc. (Atroniceum x cordigera 'Multi') x Enc. cordigera 'Giant' ?

The same with the Phals, which order are the parents bred?

Also I've not found any reference to Enc Altrovelumtum, just not sure what that is.

[shiningrock]

Phal Naples nights x Petite rose x Glad melinda
Den Cathy Beck

[exasperatus2002]

Yeahh!! I like hybrids over species. If we decide on one, but theres a 2nd one we'd really like, can we get the same rate on the 2nd plant if its added onto our project orchid? Or are these rates only available for the project orchid?

umm difficult to choose...

1) Enc. Atronecium - cordigera 'Multi' x Enc. cordigera 'Giant'
