A wonderful pot, Anthony! I'm still not convinced that I like Cyps, but if I had a pot like that I'd be damn proud of them!

Hans, such an enormous plant in flower. FANTASTIC!
I'm afraid I can only dream of it.

Hans Very nice 8) :o 8) :o 8)
What is the shorter one in front of the big calceolus with more green petals in the first post of today?

Chloe here in Portugal we will have to make do with the couins Phapilopedium the venus slipper.
They seems to survive outside in Coimbra, but I do not dare to test that. They grow well here anyway but I think I rather would have Cypripedium growing outside.

Kind regards
Joakim

Potting in Lund in Southern Sweden and Coimbra in the middle of Portugal as well as a hill side in central Hungary

Hans, are those C. calceolus seedlings (hybrids) from your garden.
Or are such types growing in nature too? I never heard about that.

Joakim and Luit,
these are all true calceolus and no hybrids (very very rare here in Austria)! Calceolus alba, semialba and with reddish and brown petals.

Anthony,

Lovely!!

Hans,

That plant is amazing.  I do so wish we could get Cyps here in Aus, at prices that don't require a bank heist to afford them (on the VERY, very, VERY rare times you can find them).  Stunning to see a pic of such a large clump.  Astounding!!  :o
Cheers.

Armin, the mice attack destroyed 2 large Cyp calceolus (usually each with 30 - 40 flowers), one large macranthos (15 flowers) and other Cyps. There you cannot find one bud and plants, only some seedlings.
