In the fall of '07 we registered many new plants in my Viking Series, launched a new Egyptian Series, as well as a Space Series. There are new additions to my Volcano, Hawaiian and Snake Series and blooms that range in size from 4 to 11 inches with scape heights up to 78 inches! Of the 40 registrations, 38 are nocturnal extended bloomers, most open for at least 24 hours. There is one tetraploid introduction from very rare bloodlines: EVENT HORIZON. Also represented here are a number of plants that will cross with both diploids and tetraploids via unreduced gametes: APOPHIS to name one.  These plants are exciting bridges between the diploid Spider/UF genepool and the tetraploid genepool. Many of these new registrations are Unusual Forms, some are Spiders and there are some that are single, large flowers that fit no class – just what Rosemary Whitacre called "long-petaled lilies".  The latter are from spider/unusual forms lines and will be useful breeding stock for these forms. I am very excited to finally have F2 and F3 seedlings out of H. citrina ready to release to gardeners. (see MARAMA, ORCHID CONVERGENCE, STEWART PEDEN SMITH, SVENSKA, THORHALL THE HUNTER and RÖGNVALDURSSON to name a few).
