[Corrado & Rina]

The hotei-atsumorianum is still very beautiful though ....

<I plant all new aquisitions the first season
<and some "delicate" species like the plectrochilum or debile
<and other small species in pots in the "cold frame"
<for better protection and "controlling"

Hi,
beautiful plants! I do it as well, but try to keep as many out there. Cyp. fargesii example has been through problems with moisture protection -28 ° C.
New plants in the autumn are also frost-free winters with me.
With the pots come I manage somehow not as good :-(
However, we have plenty of snow! For me, the problem is rather that it is always wet and cold products. Unfortunately, this morning was some snow ..... I have to admit, therefore, again :-(
Greetings
Bernd

[Catwheazle]

Thanks for the flowers :-) .....
I envy you your weather. Here is snow and rain at 3-4 ° C.

...Here in the mountains there are Cypripedium calceolus...

regards -
Kristof

@Kristof: I know, there is an alba form too.... but i have never seen it :-(
I am also here in the AHO (=Arbeitskreis heimische Orchideen) for many years. ... To protect the orchids :-)

Bernd

[Corrado & Rina]

Same here .... we try to reproduce everything from seeds, and to buy only from reputable sources, but some time it is very difficult to check with suppliers .... so you end up not buying. :-(

There is an alba form of C. calceolus?

By the way, have you tried with asymbiontic reproduction?

hello friends,

I love all kind of discussions in this  forum,
but looking at the topic,
you can see this is a thread about "goofys Cyps" 
I would recommend a separate thread for that discussion
Maggy ? ?   edit - the topic has been split. M

slightly damaged from the rain last days
Cypripedium ventricosum white selection


Cypripedium Frohnau SilkSun #3



enjoy

[Corrado & Rina]

Hi Goofy,

The ventricosum white is splendid, even with the rain damage ....

[Catwheazle]

Hello Goofy,
Your Cypripediums really gigantic. Moreover, in very good condition Culture - what it looks like -. Since I'm naturally curious as you cultivate the. I myself have some problems with pot culture. Possible that are too warm in the winter garden in the root ball?
Please tell us a few times of your tricks;-)
LG

Maggy... 

hello Bernd.
you know the prominent advertising ?

ITS NOT A TRIC,
ITS A SONY...........................

indeed there is no tric.
ask "monocotman".

he has the same "system"..................
large pots, 14 - 40 cm,
filled with 3+mm Perlite or 50/50 Seramis/Perlite.
in dappled shade in the north, behind a southfacing wall with plain view to the sky.

in winter the smaller pots in the frostfree frame, the larger pots sunken into the soil
and covered with plastic foil, buried under the fallen leaves of neighbouring 20 m high birch trees.
lots of leaves in autumn 
THATS THE SECRET 

cheers

PS its raininng cats and dogs,
so some pics to illustrate next days....................

[Corrado & Rina]

Hi Goofy,

What is you watering regime? and your fertilisation regime?

All your Cypripedium seem so "happy" ....

(PS: and what is the climate in your region?)

Best,

[goofy]

hello,
the regime is, that there is no regime

I fertilize every week with liquid fertilizer full strength,
no special brand.

and they look so happy, because they LOVE ME from the bottom of their hearts 

cheers
