Do you have 2 clones of 'Sabine' Wolfgang?

Nice Cyps Wolfgang,

especially that tight clump of the Sabine, there must be 20 shoots in there, worth dividing up!!

My last Cypripedium, a little late! An interesting colour? It is reginae x any 2 leaves Cyp (fargesii, margaritaceum?).
We have a disasttrous weather here (some floods and rain since May!). In June we had more than 700mm rain and now thunderstorms with more than 100mm rain every day, yesterday hail. So the Cyps and specially the Pleiones look very bad due to the humidity, but the hail has failed my garden.

Do any of you have experience with Cy. acaule?  It grows in great quantities on my sisters property, which is sandy with a humous layer of about 10cm, mainly pine and oak.  I would love to try this species in cultivation, but, despite the plenty on my sisters land, I don't relish killing any!

Jamie
Cyp acuale is described as tricky since it needs acidic soil and that may be why your sister can have it in a pine oak mix.
Well drained acid mix but not an easy plant to have in pots after what I have seen. In nature it grows to big colonies and there it is not tricky after what I have seen on pictures.
I presume You want advice from someone that have grown them and I have not, and I do not think they are so common in Europe in cultivation, more so in the US so maybe asking in "Slipper orchid forum" might help You to more information?

All the best
Joakim

Goodness me!  That is a big Ant nest! Perhaps it is giving the orchid special protection from all predators!

I remember finding a very large Scottish wood ant's nest in woodland at Kilmahog, just north of Callander, Perthshire. A friend asked me if I could find a large number of ants in a hurry as he had been commissioned to supply them for a film (with Colin Firth in it). He used a vacuum cleaner to sook them up and and I got a free trip to Trinidad out of it. ;D
