Narcotics Series:
The original series of these extraordinary plants was bred by Sean Chubb, using Soft Touch and Hottie’s Hirao—both of which proudly form part of our collection here at Utopia Clivias.
Some of the standout first-generation plants from Sean's breeding include Zol, Daggacookie, Joint, Umsangu, Greensleeves, Hash, and Gunja. Since then, many exceptional F2s have been bred by Sean and other breeders, including ourselves.
This range has become one of our absolute favourites in our breeding program. The genetic potential is immense, and the future possibilities are truly limitless.
These plants are all named in tribute to David Bowie, one of my all-time favourite artists, who sadly passed away in 2016.
The colour palette of this line is striking—ranging from sandy bronzes to pinky bronzes, and even deep brown bronzes, often accompanied by vibrant green throats and green hues on the tepals and backs of the flowers. Due to the presence of Hottie’s Hirao in the first generation, many of these plants are split for a percentage of greens in the next generation.
