However, it is recognized as a distinct clone used primarily as a maternal parent in hybridization. Care should be taken not to confuse the characteristics of the pure clone with its hybrid offspring, which may exhibit different phenotypic traits (such as a bright green epidermis). ===== History & Origin ===== The clone 'Bonny' originates from the garden of the well-known Trichocereus breeder "Misplant". According to community expert Bob Baker, the original clone is exclusive to Misplant's collection, where it has been used extensively in breeding programs. It is famous for producing notable hybrid offspring, frequently crossed with other prominent clones such as 'Clyde'. ===== Cultivation Notes ===== No specific cultivation requirements for 'Bonny' were detailed in the discussion. As a Trichocereus (likely T. pachanoi or a related hybrid), general cultivation practices apply: it prefers well-draining soil, deep but infrequent watering during the growing season, and partial to full sun depending on regional intensity. Protect from hard freezes. ===== Community Discussion & Citations ===== The discussion centers around the exclusivity of the clone and its role in breeding. Bob Baker highlights its origin in Misplant's garden and its frequent use in crosses. Brandon Allinger emphasizes the importance of distinguishing the original clone from its hybrids to prevent historical and morphological confusion, noting that some observed traits may belong to crosses rather than the clone itself. James Buchanan and Kelly Beth Costello seek clarification on its history and characteristics, highlighting the community's interest in tracking the lineage of original clones. ^ Date ^ Speaker ^ Confidence Score ^ Key Insight/Quote ^ | 2024 (approx) | Bob Baker | 10 | "clone bonny can be found nowhere else on the planet than Misplant's garden" and has "a long sordid history of wanton, s l u t i s h like behavior ....shamelessly hooks up regularly with clyde & a slew of other colorful & obnoxious studs" | ===== Credibility Notes ===== Bob Baker is assigned a confidence score of 10/10 due to the expert override rule designating him as a trusted authority in the Trichocereus community. Other participants (Brandon Allinger, James Buchanan, and Kelly Beth Costello) scored below the threshold of 7 due to a lack of direct historical knowledge or detailed data, and are therefore excluded from the citation table.
