Looking for echinopsis Paramount hybrids

[AnTTun]

I'm trying to collect all 26 original Paramount echinopsis hybrids. Not to brag 'I have them all' but because they are a part of heritage, echinopsis hybridization started with them. Sadly, some of them got lost or dispersed or kinda hidden, I've managed to collect 18 of them and I'm missing 8. My European sources are pretty much exhausted, Huntington and Ruth Bancroft's gardens don't have them, mattslandscape.com seems to be dead... so I'm hoping someone here could point me to a new direction.

Any info is appreciated, thank you.

Harry Mays used to act as the ISI Agent in the UK before CITES stopped plants being imported from America and I know he had some of the Paramount Hybrids under ISI numbers since he was selling them a couple of years back at the Cactus Explorers Weekend and the UK is still in the EU yet so no problem importing.

His email is here if still up to date. If not as you are on the BCSS Forum you could try PM-ing him to see if he is still active, or even write to his address.

I think somebody in our Nottingham branch may have also bought some from him if you have the names of the 8 you are missing?

I have Fluffy Ruffles, Mary Patricia and Dainty Bess. I was given some hybrids from an older collection.

How's the search going? Have you found any of the 8 you were missing?
