paph fairieanum albun 'Hagee' FCC/AOS

[Kanaka John]

I am hoping a member can help me out. I am looking for a division of a fairieanum that I lost to a winter storm power outage. If you have one or know of one available, please let me know. Since it got imported back to the U.S. I have seen it and its' selfings on the internet, but nothing available that I can find. Thanks, Kanaka John

bump.

John contacted me to see if any of us are familiar with this alba clone. It was awarded a 90 pt FCC in 1975 in southern California. Had 7 fine upright flowers on it at the time. I figure maybe one of the breeders are familiar with it & maybe have a piece.

Fingers crossed

Good luck.

John says this was also sold as 'Shaffer' in Japan - according to Dr Tanaka.

Yeaaa...no. I just looked up 'Shaffer' or 'Shaffer's' and the award description on Shaffer is for a regular colored type, not an album. So the search goes on.

Way back in 2004 I bought a cross of (Candor II x fma album 'Hagee's FCC/AOS) from Antec. It bloomed for me and then I killed it. Antec is the only place I have heard of it.

Thanks Ruth, another lead. This is like a treasure hunt.

 

[Kanaka John]

Hi gang, thanks for all your searching. So far none or the commercial breders say they have a division. Antec had it but they now breed horses and willnot respond to any emails, don't know who got their collection, but the buyer probably got it - whom ever. Another direction to hunt. Might anyone know where antec's collection went? Thanks again for all your help.

Check with Leo. He seemed to have more info on Antec then others.

 

[Kanaka John]

Chad, I am new to this. Who is Leo and how do I contact him? Thanks

I think Chad is referring to Leo Schordje. You can send him a Private Message through Slippertalk. Bob Wellenstein occasionally posted here in the early days (last visit in 2011) and still has an account, here. You can also try contacting him with a PM. Go to "Members List" in the bar at the top of the forum page and look alphabetically for "Leo Schordje" and "Bob Wellenstein". Good Luck!

 

[Chicago Chad]

Sorry John. I should have been more specific. I did send you a PM later that day. If you did not get it, please send me an email. You can link to it through my profile. I'm not sure if I can help with you search, but I will certainly look around for you.

 

[Leo Schordje]

I don't know. I don't have a division myself, and have not heard of anyone having divisions in the area for some time now. I will ask a certain person as I make my rounds of the Chicagoland Orchid Festival. Today.
