cyps in pots 2013

[Botanica]

Hi Maren, yes i'm sure they are cypripedium  . ...it's very different of other plants (specifically the root !)
They grow indoor and the pot is placed behind window for the light.

The adults plants (Pubescens and Parviflorum) grow like that next year ... but they start in April.

I'm happy to report that my Cyps are now starting to grow. Bits of green are emerging from the brown scales

Hi,

I thought these two plants may be of interest.
These are two large tibeticums ordered last autumn from Holger Perner at Hengduan Mountain Biotechnology Ltd.
They arrived yesterday and I'm well pleased with them - they have a huge root system.
As they appear to have just started to grow, the flower buds may blast, but if they flower, I'll post some photos.

Regards,

David

David,
congratulations, these plans from Holger look superb.
I bought a tray of young plants, maybe 3 years old. They are a bit of a struggle.

Thanks Maren,

I bought from Holger last year as well but with the delays they had with customs the plants were already growing when they finally arrived and none survived the season.
I thought that this year I'd try the largest plants I could get.
I have a large flowered tibeticum from Peter Corkhill and it will be fun to try crossing the two forms together,

Regards,

David

Hello SRGC members and others 

The new cypri arrived

[Yann]

looks like a promise  i also use copeau de lin (flax chips) for insulation during winter.

Lovely to see the video of Pascal Lambé of Phytesia. He is a really nice guy and he grows terrific orchids. He used to grow his seedlings at the University of Liège but now has some superb facilities to grow them on to flowering stage.

I tend to visit him by car once a year, sometimes with a van, and pack them full of plants. Retail therapy ? You bet.

You have made me really envious of you just heading of in your van

Maggi did the RHS reply to you?

Yes, they did .
Be rude of them not to, don't you think?

I got a full refund for my pal.  And wonderful forumists have helped with new plants for her.

How about this plant I got mail order. Its going back on Monday. I don't know why the seller wants it back. Isnt it going to die anyway?
