Chamaelobivia - Southfield hybrids

Post by Cidermanrolls »

Is anyone aware of a full list of the named Lincoln Chamaelobivia hybrids, preferably with flower descriptions?
My Google search didn’t turn one up and I don’t want to bother Brian or Linda in their winter ‘retirement’. Their sales list only has a small selection.
I’m interested as I’ve seen an offer of many hybrids but it’s not clear which are Southfield and which are not. I’m not even going to try to complete at set here, but I would like to focus on Brian’s hybrids rather than just random hybrids.

I don't know of one but would be interested to hear if anyone has better luck. Their own Cactusland website (as opposed to their printed brochure) has a long list with photos - but I'm not sure it's actually complete.

I've never found it possible to get a full list of their named Echinopsis hybrids either.

To add an additional problem, I'm told that some hybrid names cover all plants from one seed collection. So for example, "Razzle Dazzle" can appear on a multitude of plants all slightly different.
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs. Recently discovered gorgeous Gasteria.

Yes, Razzle Dazzle definitely covers an entire group. Same too of the Lobivia/Echinopsis "Carnival" series. The same is also true of the "Festival" Matucana series.

Good sales and marketing strategy. You're going to have visit and buy more if you know there's variation.

And the ‘New Dawn’ hybrids are another group.

The named Chamaelobivias are distinct hybrids. Maybe compiling a book of them is a retirement project for B & L? The Rebutias and Echinopsis could also be included.
I have photos of about 20 of them, if someone else wants to volunteer. My website skill are not up to creating a web resource, but I could provide images.

The Chamaelobivia Lincoln Rainbow are a similar, seed-raised group and not a cultivar.

I'm not aware of a list but we could start one on here. I have a fair few in my collection and other do too so I'm sure we'd soon make a fairly comprehensive list between their website and our collections!

Or you could email Bryan (I'm sure they won't answer if they don't want to be bothered) and see if he has a comprehensive list?

I've noticed that the number of hybrids on offer has reduced from the Cactusland web site over the year.
Maybe you can use the Wayback machine and point it at the Cactusland site and get a more complete list that was offered
at an earlier time?
