Goofy,
You C. segaway and the hybrid you created with it are wonderful.
Thanks also for the idea of the cold frame. What do you do if you have a sudden long warm spell in the winter? Do you take them temporarily out of the cold frame?
For example, we had one very warm week here in February, which practically killed several plants. For example Acacia dealbata, Genista madeirensis and some Lavandula stoechas were killed because they immediately started shooting, the terrible frost that ensued destroyed the plants. The Cypripedium was not killed because it was outside, isolated with shredded paper, and raised from the soil.
But what would happen if the Cypripedium were in a cold frame where the temperature goes up to the point where they start to shoot?

hello,
I know that nothing will happen after a "short" rising of temps (in our region)
Cyps dont shoot within few days..................
they are insulated with a double layer of bubble foil and shaded with dark foil.
also longer periods of sunshine dont heat the frame...........
the temps dont rise more than 2 or 3 degrees,
I have (wireless) thermometer to control.
the temp is more constant than in the pots , stored above soil ........
cheers

hello friends,
after a rainy Sunday the sun is shining today...................
this is the other clone from the SparrowEgg hybrid, made by G. Bergel.
they were made with "reverse parents" passerinum X reginae / reginae X passerinum.
no flowers from the other clone this year, smaller growing with white flowers.
Cypripedium Rheinsberg SparrowEgg #2
(reginae X passerinum)
and this is the last of the flowering plants from this hybrid
Cypripedium Frohnau SilkSun #4
have fun
cheers

Hi Dieter. It is a really nice hybrid. Ulla Silkens is a great grower, but taking it from seed to flowering plants in 4 seasons is still pretty good. Reeeespect, as i my son would say
When you reach a point where you have some to spare, i'll be interested.
