GROUP 1 : some 'Paetz' hybrids
Hybridizer Helmut Paetzold (1931-2016) created a very large number of beautiful hybrids, some of which have one and/or other of the criteria 1▲ and/or 2▲
of small, delicate flowers (1▲) with fine petals, sometimes fragrant and/or blooming at unusual times (2▲).
They often have a name composed of a first name followed by the word Paetz, a contraction of Paetzold.
Disocactus macranthus is sometimes included in their pedigree.
I'm going to show you the ones that are or have been in my collection. This is because I can't always grow them properly.
