Saturday, July 4, 2009. The first Alcicorne California I purchased was from Paul Isley in July 2005. I received another from Tony Barrett in June of 2006. In a conversation with Charles, he said that he has had his sire for over 23 years. At one time, Alcicorne was used.
Tuesday, July 28, 2009. Borneo - Picked this one up from Charles Alford in May 2009.
Thursday, June 25, 2009. Cass Robusta - This fern is characterized by its deeply divided and wide fertile fronds with distinctive long narrow fingers. This particular fern is from the Tony Barrett collection. This staghorn fern can take temperatures from 40 to 90 degrees - they are kept outside year long and prefers morning light or a dappled light all day with a mild breeze. Please visit the Other Links.
Saturday, June 20, 2009. Blueboy - A bifurcatum cultivar with a shapely form -. Named by Steve Talnadge, a nurseryman from Chula Vista, CA. If given enough light, the tomentum on the fronds will give a bluish hue to the fern- or so goes the tale and hence the moniker. Personally, I have yet to see it, but maybe one day in the right light it will happen. There are various sizes of Blueboy that are currently available for sale. If interested please e-mail me at tomsstagh.
Tuesday, August 25, 2009. Scofield - is a bifurcatum cultivar named after Glen Scofield. As you can see it has a wide end spread with long reclining fertile fronds with long fingers. These came from the Tony Barrett collection and have been in my possession since July 2006. I reside in Huntington Beach, CA and these ferns are a hobby of mine. I sell the extra ones so check back often as the offerings change frequently.
