Here I show you a clump of my Cypripedium japonicum. I planted in the year 2004 three young plants of this delightful slipper orchid. This year I had 6 Flowers on ten shoots. And it is increasing further. But with Cypripedium formosanum I had problems with a late spring frost and it dies in this location. But japonicum was unimpressed of the frost! :-)

[Lukas H]

here are some other cyps in my garden. Espacially the palangshanense are doing well. i didn't know that they make also clumps like other slipper orchids. I used to think that tey are always single stemed plants. But one has this year three shoots with two flowers and the other has two shoots with one flower. Cypripedium wardii is also going to have a flower this year. enjoy the pictures.


formosanum 1 LH.
Gerhard 1 LH
Inge 1 LH
macranthos 1 LH
palangshanense 1 LH
wardii 1 LH

Nice Cyps every one!!

Hans nice hybrids with fasciolatum, they look amazing!!

Han have you changed your mix...it looks like your using bark fines, are they only on top with your usual mix?

And are you using a slow release fertiliser, i see yellow granuals??

The first to open for me was Cypripedium Emil, the second (not fully opened yet) - Cypripedium guttatum

[Maggi Young]

My goodness.... you have these out in the garden through a Russian winter, Oleg?!!

All cypripediums are outside in winter

One tends to forget that most cyps are hardy down to -25^oC. Here is Cypripedium 'Sabine', which has not moved from this spot on my patio for three years. This year we had -18^oC, which turned many pot grown bulbs to mush, but had no effect what so ever on my cypripediums. This was a £3 lucky dip seedling from Paul Christian.

 Yes, you're right.... I am  guilty of forgetting that these fragile looking plants are so much togher than they look.
About time you gave that pot a scrub, though, eh? 

[Anthony Darby]

  I would have if it had been flowering on time! Two more cyps just about out in today's tropical temperatures: 'Emil' and X Ventricosum! (Just remembered why I left the algae on the pot. It gives the impression that it has been there undisturbed for a long time. )
