Wow - great to see this fantastic plants! - Thanks Johannes and Ian.
I grew Cyps some years ago in Germany - but I think I lost the battle against the slugs, and I doubt there is any left in my parents garden. ::)

Dear Karl, it is not any problem with your English, only that I decided to bring all the Cypripediums together.... there were other posts to be moved, also. No need to be sorry  8) :-*

Dave,
Do you water your 'spotty' Cyps only from below?
I am keen to know,

Giles,
I grow most "spotty" cyps outside in my garden and I think they need more water than the most gardeners mean (more than other cyps!). If at any time the soil is too dry (soft leaves), the plants will die or will be damaged. They like a lot of rain!

Hi Hans

Are your spotted Cyps out in the open in the garden or sheltered. I've always been led to believe they do not like getting wet from above and have therefore always watered mine from below (when in leaf) with the occasional careful top up from the top.

Do you have any other spotted Cyps, I'd love to see some here if you have.
