Cypripediums in the southern hemisphere...

This formosanum keeps getting better every year.

Its amazing how they respond to a good feed and regular watering. This is in a fine bark potting mix with perlite after 3 years...There was another potfull that was divided up and sold to some keen orchid growers  :) so its getting around.

hengduan Mountains biotech cyp offers
« Reply #81 on: September 28, 2013, 11:14:44 AM »
Stephen,

that is a stunning pot of formosanum.
Mine are dying down now, some did well some average in or warm summer.

I'm pretty sure that someone asked in the spring about the cyp offers from Holger Perner of hengduan Mountains Biotech in the autumn.
I received a pdf file earlier this week.
Is it possible to load this onto the web site?
If not I can send it by e mail,

Regards,

David

Depends how big the pdf is - must be under 200kb.

Perhaps it can be obtained from their website ? http://hengduanbiotech.com/

Maggi,

Thanks - I've tried their web site but cannot seem to find it.
the pdf is 758kb, so I could only send it out if people send me a PM.
It is worth it for the photos of the mother plant tibeticums alone.

Regards,

David

Maren,

thanks.
Some nice things but to my mind the tibeticums set new standards for the species,

Cyp parviflorum. Its such a small species. Now with 3 flowers. Such bright colouring.

I only dream of a massive clump. Due for repot.

enjoy

And Gisela. I repotted this late in winter and it hasnt gone back. I keep the cage over them for protection.

This one tends to colours up better with some direct sun as the pouch becomes more pink.

A new one to open after 8 years from flask, this came to me as Cypripedium tibeticum...well the pouch is not purple, its white.. so its not tibeticum. Any guesses?...a couple of days till it opens.
