Finding Lost Cultivars

Find Lost Cultivars

Help ABS Find Lost Cultivars

To honor the hybridizers of the past, we want to find the following cultivars in order to propagate their cuttings, leaves or stems. By doing this, ABS can then share these new ‘old’ plants with member’s collections.

Before You Ship – Email: cultivarpreservation@begonias.org

1. Write the name of the cultivar and where it came from on a sealable sandwich bag using a waterproof marker.
2. Place a paper napkin, with 4-6 drops of water in the bag.
3. Pack each cutting (leaf or shoot) in the correctly named bag, seal the bag, and place the bag(s) in a shipping box.
4. Mail to: Address as instructed by cultivarpreservation@begonias.org email reply.

Note: A flexible shipping envelope increases the risk of damage to the cuttings during shipping, so a rigid box or 2+ layers of bubble wrap will help to protect the plants.
