Nice plants Hans
Does ? always look like that every time it blooms? It looks by the flower type like if it is a hybrid with acuale, formosanum or japonicum but none of the ones in the Frosch webpage seems to look like that.
Just going by colour it could be something like x ventricusum or any backcrossing with calceolus or macranthos.
Maybe someone else knows better  ???
It was very interesting to see it.
Nice pictures of the wild calceolus :)
It must be great to see them growing wild  8)

Kind regards

Forgot to add 'Ulla Silkens'. This form only shows the swept back petals of Cypripedium flavum, otherwise it is virtually C. reginae.

Some mouth watering Cyps, a joy to behold. I have had a lot of aphids on mine ( can't spot them easily these days un less I take my reading glasses out with me). I'm a little hesitant to drench them with chemicals. Ian what do you or others use that is safe AND efficient in dispelling the little blighters?

Here is a close up of C. guttatum

Here's another form of Cypripedium calceolus. This time from Kunashir, one of the islands belonging to Russia(?), north of Japan.

Very nice pics. Thanks for sharing.
Hans did the strange looking cyp always flower like it did this year? (Picture in posting 21 of May).
Is reginae X acuale smaller (flower and plant) than reginae? It is a nice looking one that one. 8)
Hopefully I will have something to share as well soon. :)
Kind regards

Joakim, the Cyps do always flower like they did this year!!
Cyp reginae x acaule (plant and flower) is a little smaller than a (very large) reginae, but nevertheless large.
Last year my friend's Cyp reginae x acaule were auctioned for EUR 12,-- at an exhibition (Orchid regulars's table - correct word???). Too cheap - I mean.

Hans the ? is very special and if I had it, I would be very curious of what it is. I am still curious even if it is not mine. ::) Test to have it identifyed at cypripedium.de or at slipperforum.com.

12€ for a nice looking flower sized cypripedium plant is very cheap. If it was a seedling it was not that cheap.  Even if it would be "just" reginae as was what some people claim in the beginning. I think that this is changing since there are much more reginae crosses coming now, thus more people also accept reginae x acuale as a true cross.
The example You have is very beutifull I would say.
Thanks for charing
