My 2010 cypripediums

[Slug Killer]

Another C. tibeticum (pale form) that is now a three flower plant. C. tibeticum dark and pale both seem to grow very well for me and increase rapidly.

[Anthony Darby]

My tibeticum is just above the surface of the moss in is pot. Weeks off flowering.

[Slug Killer]

Most of my tibeticum are now in leaf as can be seen in the photo below. Flavum next to them has only just come through the surface in the last week. Should have fasciolatum in flower in the next week as well. Debile and palangshanense are both in leaf but will not flower this year as well as guttatum.

I'm surprised you put moss anywhere near them as I find it's a pain with Cyps and causes rot.

C. parviflorum var. pubescens getting ready to pop.  The particular clump photographed has 32 pips, and with our very warm couple of days 82-86 F (28-30 C) has them springing out of the ground.

This time last year my Cc. 'Sabine' and X ventricosum had been out for well over a week. The latter is probably nearly two weeks away from flowering.

The 15th May is likely a lovely day for a drive to Aberdeen, Anthony...........

[Luc Gilgemyn]

A very impressive display Hans !! 

[Slug Killer]

Hans, is Cyp froschii now not regarded as a pale form of tibeticum?

My next is C. ventricosum

[goofy]

hello Hans,
I think that despite the "pale color" your "froschii" is a tibeticum.
for "better" identification pls look at W. Frosch site
http://www.w-frosch.de/Cypris/Arten/frosc.htm

typical for froschii are the "waved" petals

cheers
