I just can't believe the number of cyps you all grow... all are so beautiful.  The image of C. micranthum looks just like a freshly hatched baby chick with its gaping beak ready to be fed.

Beautiful. 8) Some reginae in there, but the hairy tepals suggests micranthum too?

Here is C. reginae in the wild in eastern Tennessee. This is one of three populations in Tennessee and one of 7 in the southeastern US. I just discovered this one last year and hope to find more next Tuesday when I am out again. This population only has about 100-200 plants. I also have found a clump with yellow margined leaves!

Aaron, I find it interesting that you find C. reginae just in flower, yet here about 860 miles to the Northeast, C. reginae also just came into flower... we are having an exceptionally early spring here in northern New England.

Hello all,

Here are some pictures showing the size and the habit of Cypripedium wardii. This small precious orchid is rearly seen.

I cultivate mine now for 5 years. Since three years one plant showed every year a single flower.

Here another rearly seen Cypripedium

This is Cypripedium yunnanense. It grows in a big pot together with Cyp henryi, fasciolatum, flavum (still too small to flower since 5 years out of flask) and tibeticum (shwes leaves since three years...)

I will try these small cyps in another life. ;D

Here is 'Gisela' beside a double Trillium grandiflorum that bulks up faster than my 'Snowbunting' or 'Flore Pleno' from Bressingham.
