Echinopsis hybrids
Abbey Brook Echinopsis hybrids are the results of 35 years work by Brian Fearn.
I am not alone in working on the genus Echinopsis. There have been hybridizers in America, New Zealand, Germany, Holland, Japan and elsewhere. There have also been a number of dippers hybridizers who have made a few crosses and then moved on. As far as I am aware, few have kept long term records of their crosses, so that the precise parentage of any hybrid is known, and no one else has produced a comparable range of colour combinations and certainly nothing like Ruffles and its offspring.
Echinopsis hybrids are grown mainly for their very large and beautiful flowers. The plants usually take about 4 years to flower from seed, although sometimes it can be less. The taxonomy of this group is not easy, as the delimitation of the various related genera overlaps to the extent that some taxonomists have lumped them all together into the single genus Echinopsis. This includes for example Lobivia, Chamaecereus, Trichocereus, Pseudolobivia, Helianthocetreus, and Acanthocalycium. Like all committed hybridizers I have attempted to improve on nature by hybridization between species and groups of plants that never meet in the wild. I started this work over 35 years ago in the late 1960s At that time I only had a limited range of material to work with. In 1980, 120 different hybrid crosses were mnade by which time I was using third generation hybrids as well as 30 different species of Echinopsis, Lobivia and Trichocereus.
By 1986, successful hybrid crosses were being made which involved 4 different hybrids, each of which involved 2 or more other parents. It is not always possible to propagate vegetatively all the hybrids, as some of them never produce offsets. One can only be sure of a name by this way of propagation, as seedlings are invariably different from their parents. This means that years may elapse before sufficient plants are available for sale, which is reflected in the price.
I am still, after 35 years, continually hybridizing and selecting offspring. Since the start of the new millenium, 8 new hybrids have been named. These are either completely different from previous hybrids, for example Streaky, Turkish Delight, Gilly's Favourite, Golden Wedding and Tango or great improvements on previous attemps. Golden Wedding is another of my xTricho- Lobivia- Echinopsis hybrids in the second generation, but it still does not surpass my original Chelsea Girl, which according to Professor Groner was the first reported hybrid with yellow flowers in this group. Over the years 150,000 seedlings have been flowered and only 110 have been named.
