David,

Great stuff.  That pot of 'Sunny' has a real "Wow" factor, doesn't it?  Excellent pics!!

No Antony, the soil is only covered with clay brick grit (against liverwort).

Liverwort! Soil must be kept really damp then? What is the soil composition?

We have a lot of rain here and so liverwort grows very well. The soil consists of 20% peat and the rest is minerally.

But the plants look as if they are inside a greenhouse?

No, most plants are outside, the pots stand between 2 greenhouses! But we habe liverwort inside the greenhouses, too (irrigation system).

Time to find out what is going on with this Cypripedium calceolus. Last year I had 8 flowering noses. This year 1! C. X ventricosum, however, goes from strength to strength since I bought it 10 years ago from Ian Christie as a single nosed plant,

I was about to say the same, Anthony. My 'Gisela' has only 2 shoots this year. Is it safe to lift and replant now? Maybe feed it instead - if so what with?
