The photographs shown on this site are the beginings of what we hope are a comprehensive gallery of examples of seedlings bloomed at Mariposa Garden and some of the parents used in hybridizing. As you may already know, we do not have at present any clones, so the flowers shown will give you an idea of what can be expected from the crosses.

In spite of an extremely dry year, there are an abundance of spikes showing. Several first bloom crosses are of special interest have spikes that are coming along nicely.
Drew’s Delight= Fifi x Corakiwi
Fifi x Olive Street
Kalimpong x Olive Street
Corakiwi – a sibling cross of Corakiwi ‘One’ x Corakiwi ‘Mask’
Island Gem x Corakiwi ‘Mask’
Enterprises Voyage x Ruby Brook
These crosses are expected to have pendant or arching spikes. We also have hundreds of novelty and standards in most colors including some beautiful reds that will be available shortly.
