Hi Hakone,

That's actually a C. lichiangense rather than lentiginosum, lovely plant and flower anyway though.

Cheers,

Alex

Hi Hakone,

Nice pictures! I would agree that C. lentiginosum has matte rather than glossy leaves (although I don't know how consistent a feature that is), but all those plants you've posted have glossy leaves to my eye, it's just that the intensity of the red spotting varies. I also don't know about how diagnostically useful the flower stem colour is; on the nursery page below is what I think of as a classic lentiginosum, and its stem is red like a lichiangense....

Cypripedium lichiangense in process

One important distinctive feature is that the petals are approximately twice as long as the lip in lentiginosum, and only 3 to 2 compared to the lip in lichiangense.

I would say that Hakone interpretation seems to be correct from the pictures, but it is very difficult to estimate it from the pictures only.

On last thing: if evaluating on the base of the leaves only, it is important to keep into the equation also daweishanense. If you use also the petals vs. lip length then you can exclude both.

This is cyp hybrid pixi and it has always grown quickly from when it started to flower in 2008 with two stems.
There are now about eighty five shoots and fifty one flowers.
Maybe next year it will have over 100!

Which would make all those pictured lichiangense.

Now that's just wrong. No wonder my cyp has no flowers, you have them all.

Thanks for the videos BTW.

In Hakone's images of lentiginosum the petals don't look to be very long.
Here is an image of my lichiangense -the petals look to be longer than those pictured above.
