South Coast Orchid Society

Dr. Norito Hasegawa, 1940-2023
Decades of Awarded Orchids and New Hybrids!

Norito's association with South Coast Orchid Society goes back at least to 1968, when one of his Cymbidiums won an HCC/AOS at our monthly meeting in Long Beach. We can document over 40 years of awards for his plants, in addition to the registration of at least 22 new hybrids beginning in 1982, not counting at least 260 registrations by "Paphanatics, Unlimited", a business he formed with Harold Koopowitz, nor the approximately 1,400 awards for plants exhibited by "Paphanatics" 1981-2017 (although a few of those came from something called "Paphanatics Unlimited Australia", another puzzle we haven't addressed yet). This is a record of dedication and accomplishment that is seldom encountered!

First, we present the documented awards, together with the award photos that we have been able to find. All photos originating as AOS award photos are assumed to have been created for the use of AOS and assumed to fall under the copyright of AOS or of the unknown photographers. Where the same flower was awarded both by AOS and CSA, we report the award only once.

Still to be added: Lists of the hybrids created or registered by Dr. Hasegawa, hybrids or cultivars named after him, his publications, and the story of his collaboration with Dr. Harold Koopowitz, "Paphanatics, Unlimited".

While we know that the AOS judging in Long Beach occurred concurrently with the monthly South Coast Orchid Society meetings, we have not yet established when "Pacific South Regional Monthly Judging" was separated from the monthly meetings of the Orchid Society of Southern California. In some cases, we have not yet had the opportunity to search the Pacific South awards slide collection at the Huntington Botanical Center and similar sources, so it is possible we will eventually be able to supply some of the missing award photos. Also, we have not yet determined where CSA judging took place, except for those occasions when it was held at a major orchid show, such as those in Santa Barbara, San Diego, or the Southland Orchid Show.

Phalaenopsis Unnamed 'Lisa Hasegawa' (Phalaenopsis Ann Lovelace × lindenii), HCC/AOS 75.0 points, exhibited by Dr. Norito Hasegawa, Orange, CA. The hybrid is Phalaenopsis Ann Linden, originated and registered in 1972 by Hugo Freed, Malibu, CA. AOS Award No. 19700697. SCOS #142. OrchidPro has complete information but no photo. Published in AOS Bulletin 42(6):54 (June, 1973) and in Awards Quarterly 4(3):70 (October, 1973) without a photo.

**Rlc. Cadmium Light 'Golden Honey' HCC/AOS**, from OrchidPro; the image is faded and too blue, compared with the description

Blc. Cadmium Light 'Golden Honey', HCC/AOS 76.8 points, exhibited by Norito Hasegawa, Orange, CA. Now correctly Rlc. Cadmium Light. AOS Award No. 19710390. SCOS #163. OrchidPro has complete information and color photo. Published in AOS Bulletin 41(1):63 (January, 1972) and Awards Quarterly 3(1):26 (January, 1972) with black and white photo. Award text: "Three flowers on one spike; mustard-green tepals with brownish maroon veining; buff-colored lip, butter-yellow throat and veining under column; very heavy substance, tall strong stem; flat flowers well spaced and well presented". OrchidWiz, image #117519, attributed to the William Merrit Collection, has the award photo, but it is badly faded; the "mustard-green tepals" are nearly white. The version in OrchidPro, while too bluish, is better. The award slide has much stronger color.

**Rlc. Cadmium Light 'Golden Honey' HCC/AOS**, the mirror-image version of the award photo in OrchidWiz, image #117519 from the William Merritt Collection; the color balance seems reasonable, but the image is far too pale.

**Rlc. Cadmium Light 'Golden Honey' HCC/AOS**, new scan from Pacific South award slides; the image seems too yellow, but much depends on exactly what is "mustard-green"! It may be possible to achieve a better image by adjusting the scanner settings.

**Vanda Peggy Foo 'Ultraviolet' HCC/AOS**, new scan from Pacific South award slides

Vanda Peggy Foo 'Ultraviolet', HCC/AOS 76 points, exhibited by Norito Hasegawa. AOS Award No. 19750460. Published in Awards Quarterly 7(4):94 (October, 1976) without a photo. In OrchidPro, award number 19750460 is correctly labeled as Vanda Peggy Foo 'Ultraviolet', April 28, 1975, exhibitor Dr. Norito Hasegawa, at Pacific South Supplemental Monthly Judging, Long Beach, CA. However, the description for this award in OrchidPro includes text for three separate plants: (1) "Eleven flowers with white background entirely marked with concentric maroon markings, two spikes; lip bright thistle, side lobes maroon; substance exceptionally heavy, texture excellent"; (2) "Eighteen flowers of overlapping form and good substance, one spike; tepals a moderate purple-red, lip purple with yellow side lobes"; and (3) "One spike with one bloom; deep fire engine red shading to bright orange with overlay of red suffusion; bright red lip". The second plant mentioned in the description matches the description in OrchidWiz of award 19750955, Vanda Peggy Foo 'Ultraviolet', but the award date is listed as April 28, 1976, thus repeating a typographical error in Awards Quarterly 7(4):94-95 (October, 1976). In OrchidPro, the award 19750955 does not exist. The third plant matches the description of Masdevallia Falcata 'Signal', an award from March 24, 1975, and in OrchidPro as Award No. 19750928. The first plant turns out to be Phalaenopisis Natasha 'Eye Dee', in the group of awards for March 24, 1975, in OrchidPro as Award No. 19750926. Situations such as this seem to have occurred as a result of publishing two or more groups of awards from different dates and venues with the same award numbers, followed by confusion when the information was compiled into an early awards database.

**Catyclia Dowsett Gem 'Tall Chief' HCC/AOS**, new scan from Pacific South award slides

Catyclia Dowsett Gem 'Tall Chief', HCC/AOS 78 points, exhibited by Norito Hasegawa. AOS Award No. 19801305. Published in Awards Quarterly 12(4):247 (October, 1981) with black and white photo. OrchidPro has complete information and color photo. This hybrid was formerly an Epicattleya. The deep purple background in the photo attached to this award in OrchidPro alerts us that the color is likely not true in this award photo, or at least, too dark. The description says the sepals and petals are rose-violet with deeper violet venation, "lip cream at base, shading to medium rose-violet at outer edge, central lobe with red-violet venation". We adjusted the contrast and brightness slightly here for the OrchidPro image.

This discrepancy occurred because another award was published in Awards Quarterly 14(3):146 (July, 1983) with the same award number, 19811351, for Oncidium Waimamalo Sunset 'Ponkan' HCC/AOS, exhibited by Franklin Smith and Jim Krull at Tampa, FL. The award for Chinese Jade 'Green Sheen' is not found in OrchidPro, but OrchidWiz has a color photo (mirror image, and the correct cultivar name, 'Green Sheen'), image #117525, attributed to the William Merrit Collection, matching the black-and-white photo from Awards Quarterly.
