Cypripedium 2007

[Joakim B]

Ian may I be so unpolite that I ask about the size of Your...... Cyp fasciolatum. both hight of plant and size of flower.
I am trying to see if there are different types around for them.
Kind regards
Joakim

Joakim, if you check http://www.srgc.org.uk/discus/messages/283/31407.html?1148925206 you will see that my Cypripedium 'Emil' has a lot of red on the pouch. Notice that my C 'Sabine' was flowering on 8/5/06, nearly three weeks later than this year.

Adarby Thank for the link I might have seen them before but it was great to see them again.
I hope they will come bigger and better (and as You say earlier) this Year .
Yes sometimes parviflorum has a bit of red "lipstick mark" on them and take that to the hybrids.
See the red Johnny Petersen from parviflorum x rebunese Yellow and the other one cream.

Yours are nicely colored but I think the pouch is more of a shanxiense especially if one look at the pic from Hans (Johannes) in Your link 2006. It is more towards brown and more evenly colored compared to Yours. If Hans bought Emil he might remember it but the other hybrid might not have been known since it is not "manmade". Maybe if one would measure the plant it would be possible to tell. I am not an expert on this so it might be an Emil with "lipstick markings" but I have my money on the natural hybrid.
There was a question about a similar looking one that turned out to be shanxiense x calceolum but th link goes to a forum where You need to be a member  but anyone interested in cypripedium is strongly reckomended and it is free and no junk mail or anything so I like that forum as well.

Whatever it is I am looking forwards to see more of them 
Maybe I will even have someting to show myself

Kind regards

Nice pictures Kjell 
Wellcome to the forum
Are they ready already? I thought they would take a while up north. I see that some of the pcs are from 2006 but are not sure if the rest is from 2007 or also from 2006.
But You seem to grow both in garden and under glass in pots so that might be faster.
Please let us know something more about the pictuers like who they are and how You grow them if You can take the time. Like do You need to have them comered during winter or do You have cold enought winters not to have any problem with them being wet?

I am only guessing that the Yellow and red is Johnny Petersen red due to You being in Scandinavia. That would be a very nice lump of Johnny P and if it is something else it is an very nice lump of that.
Thanks for sharing
Joakim

[Joakim B]

Hans very nice cyps
I like them all
Is the macranthos/macranthum alba a bit yellowish/cream? Then it could be macranthos var rebunese as seen on this link
http://www.w-frosch.de/Arten/rebun.htm
It is even more rare but they are both very nice, very nice indeed. I like the broad lip on the alba/rebunese 
Nice growing and thanks a lot for sharing
Kind regards
Joakim

[johanneshoeller]

Joakim, the mac. alba is pure white. The yellow comes from the sun/shaddow and a little rain.
Hans

[Joakim B]

Thanks for that information Hans.
It is a great plant You have
Joakim

[Anthony Darby]

Cypripedium calceolus and Cypripedium X ventricosum.

[Joakim B]

Nice Emil Rob that is how i expected Emil to look like.
Nice bunch of calceolus Adarby and very nicely grown in the rock environment.
Are the ventricosum grown in pot to be used for shows, or is it just better for You to grow like that?
Thanks for sharing
Kind regards
Joakim
