Cypripedium corrugatum if I'm correctly informed.

Love the pic of Cypripedium corrugatum. I would love to know more about it as i have not heard of it before.

Cypripedium corrugatum seems to be a form of C. tibeticum.

Wow!!  I've said it before about Cyps, and I'll almost certainly say it again!!!!!!!!  Great Stuff!!

Joakim,
the first photo of my posting #105 should be Cyp. tibeticum. M. Weinert thinks so.

Thanks for the information Hans
The colors are tibeticum and very nice such.
It will be interesting to see how it will look next year.

Kind regards
Joakim

Here are a few wild Newfoundland Cypripedia taken in early July while we were on the annual Wildflower Society long field trip, this time to the SW corner of the Island.  These are lime lovers, we also have C. acaulis everywhere.  Parviflora is on the limestone pavements, the other two are woodland species/forms.

Hi Paddy,

Not sure if this has already been covered but Michael Weinert at Frosch Exclusive Perennials (Germany) has a large range of hybrid cypripediums that are extremely healthy and should do well for you. I have been importing them into the Southerm hemisphere and they even make it through our very nasty quarantine requirements and grow on well. I am looking forward to some great flowers this season. A link to his website is below. Cheers, Tim

maybe they will stand up if you give them more sun light...   I grow them in full sun when air temperature is not high, leaves got a little yellow but are healthy.

It looks as if there has been rain in Magnar's picture and that's what's bowing down the flower heads (he's in North Norway after all

Did anyone order plants from Werner Frosch today?

When I first looked at the website at about 09.30am there were five listed as available:
Reginae
Calceolus
Aki
Carolin
Maria

When I checked the site half an hour later the Carolin and Calceolus had gone.

I was wondering if the choicest ones sold out before I had time to look at the site, has anyone got a full list of what was available?

[Rob]

I lifted and split my Cyp Ingrid today.

The first pic shows the clump with 8 large buds and 4 small buds.

The next picture shows the four plants I had after splitting. They all have good healthy looking white roots, so fingers crossed they will do well next year.

I did have one disaster and knocked off a large bud on the piece on the left.

I have planted three back in the same spot and moved one elsewhere for extra piece of mind.

[Michael]

Nice roots, Rob! Its hard to imagine that from one of those tiny things an exotic flower will grow! They are so fragile! If i had Cyps, i think i would die with fear of rot, each time the folliage withered by fall !

I ordered plants from Mr. Frosch for several years. You can send him an e-mail (june/july next year    ) and you can get the list before Mr. Frosch gets the rest of his available plants in his hompage.
sorry for my english ...
